Garrett Hedlund
The film offers some intriguing twists and turns, and the excellent cast propels the narrative forward admirably. But the screenplay tries a bit too hard to dramatize character transformations in a short period of time.
Jack Kerouac once said that “On the Road” “was really a story about 2 Catholic buddies roaming the country in search of God,” but the spiritual element of his journey is completely lacking in the film.
