Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Wild Hogs (12A, 100 mins) parcels out four mid-life crises to John Travolta, a bankrupt businessman, Tim Allen, a bored dentist, Martin Lawrence, a hen-pecked plumber, and William H Macy, a virginal computer nerd. Swapping their suits for leather jackets, they rev up their Harley Davidsons and agree to spend a week burning rubber from Cincinnati to Los Angeles. A short driving holiday doesn't seem like much of a basis for a comedy adventure, and, sure enough, Wild Hogs is never in the least bit wild, even when the men bump into a biker gang, led by Ray Liotta, which doesn't take kindly to dilettantes. Still, it's a harmless time-passer with some nice desert scenery and a few well-executed visual gags. And there's something to be said for a film whose heroes have so many miles on the clock.
