I would say, the film is not so noteworthy. The story lacks an enticing build-up. It has that weird 70s storytelling that ends the action on a weird full stop of action towards the end. Then the acting is fine. Not really noteworthy.
The cinematography though is glorious AND shockingly above and beyond for a independent film of the time. Apparently the same guy that Spielberg uses at some of his films. This was one of his earlier work apparently. He ultimately won the Oscar for Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
PS: I also got into a weird rabbit hole of researching for John David Carson, who suddenly went dunzo from the film business by 1990. No news or even articles was written about him after that. This is given that he had some big early roles to boot. Apparently, after getting smaller and smaller roles, he went out and became a drunk gambler in Vegas who ultimately turned into destitution. His death was only known when his ex-wife commented about it on her youtube channel and was discovered by a random celeb death boards poster. What sad life.
