“This film was barely seen in 1972 starring Kristofferson and Gene Hackman as a scumbag cop. Harry Dean Stanton is marvelous as Krisu0026#39; friend and Karen Black is always interesting. The cute Joy Bang is even here. This film was so far under the radar, most people forgot it even exists.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA 7 out of 10. Best performance = Harry Dean Stanton. Hackman should have played more characters like this one. This may be Kristoffersonu0026#39;s best work (as an actor) along with Blume in Love. Great cinematography and location work. I canu0026#39;t believe this wasnu0026#39;t a hit in 1972. Track this one down and you wonu0026#39;t be disappointed. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThere was plenty of u0026quot;junku0026quot; in the golden age 70u0026#39;s, but this film should not be included.”
