This is so badly structured, acted, written and photographed that I had to struggle to decipher what the plot was supposed to be about until half an hour into the film. Finally, I got it. It's a caper drama, so convoluted and cheap looking with stifling sound that I was both concerned and relieved that I could barely make out the dialog. It is about two sets of thieves who focus on robbing armored trucks and become rivals in an effort to get the job done first.

A warbling musical score makes this painful at times to listen to, and the chase sequences are loaded with sour notes. The reason this isn't a bomb? Marj Dusay, that's what, playing the cheating mistress of the older Peter Hart, stuck in a wheelchair and masterminding both the robbery of these bank trucks and the downfall of the other gang which consists of Robert Lansing and his new wife (Kathryn Reynolds) who stays behind while Lansing runs off to Mexico, eventually returning.

There's also Michael Dante as Hart's right hand man who obviously has seduced Dusay, and seems to hate his boss. Poor Marj has a scene where she sneaks down to a basement, opens a locked freezer, and finds a corpse, no real reason given for why that corpse is there. Even the plot I have written I'm not even convinced that is what is supposed to be going on, and I never took my eyes off the screen. Even if this had a higher budget, it would still rank as a stinker, but the cheap film making causes this to be headache inducing. This makes John Waters' early films look like epics in comparison, and other than the Oklahoma City location footage and the glamorous Marj Dusay, this was a complete waste of my time.
