  • Slow burner but well worth a watch

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By MikePoole (24 reviews) , 16 Sep 2012
    Watched this alone on a Sunday afternoon. A very slow burner but very good characterisation. Acting was very good and the camera work was great. And to top it all, a good story, although not much of one in some ways but either way, a good story.

  • New Hollywood Road Movie

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By MrLumpy (13 reviews) from Exeter , 18 Aug 2011
    The lead parts are played by two non-actors - James Taylor and Dennis Wilson, and their inability to act gives the movie the feeling of an existential western. What lines they do deliver are thrown away and it's only the fine acting of Walter Oates as GTO that pulls this movie through. Taylor and Wilson drift through the film and it is the cars who are really the stars. Considered a ground-breaking movie, it was part of the New Hollywood and its style has dated. If you want to watch a great road movie from the same period watch Vanishing Point starring Barry Newman. Its hipper, cooler, faster, and Newman can act.

    if you love vanishing point,easy rider,dual,the driver and other subtle 60/70's films you will love it, if you only like modern action movies you will not.
