Fresh on the heels of Dirty Dancing, Patrick Swayze made this? It was shocking that a talented cast that included him, Ben Gazzara and Sam Elliott would agree to make this movie. The writing is poor and the plot is laughable - like an episode of Dukes of Hazard. Finally, it could have the worst ending of any movie, ever.

Like the other reviewer of this movie, I, too, was a young child when I first saw this movie. It was around 1975 and it made quite an impression on me. My father, Bob Weissman, who loved the music in the film, first played the soundtrack for me. It is hypnotic and stirring -just excellent. The movie's storyline is not intricate, but what it lacks in depth, it makes up for with some suspense, good cinematography and of course, great music. James Garner is charismatic just like he is in "Support Your Local Sheriff" and Sydney Poitier, Dennis Weaver and Bibi Anderson fill their roles adequately. Overall, a good rental for a rainy (or snowy) afternoon or evening.
