Well, The Hitcher didn't really screen for critics in advance, but now that it is out there the reviews are starting to pour in. And some of them are really good. Take these excerpts form the review of Jeffrey M. Anderson   from Cinematical:

… the new remake of The Hitcher left me feeling just as angry, although not on any moral grounds. It left me angry because it's easily the dumbest movie I've seen since The Da Vinci Code. We're not talking a misfire or a disappointment; we're talking droolingly, numbingly stupid.

…

The guy calls himself John Ryder (Sean Bean) and is, of course, a psycho killer. He kills everyone, cops especially, without a second thought. But for some reason, he keeps not killing Grace and Jim and keeps following them so that he can not kill them some more.

…

Of course, they're not the only stupid ones in this movie. At one point a guard stares blankly at our bound bad guy — from three feet away — as he slowly wriggles out of his shackles. "Hey — quit movin'" the victim says, just one moment before it's too late.

Hey, I said the reviews were good, not that they were positive.
