“a better Patty Hearst movie than the ones actually made about Patty Hearst. not quite up there with the likes of Bonnie and Clyde and Thieves Like Us, but definitely worth seeing as an example of the 1970u0026#39;s ambivalence about anti-social characters and crime. the reviews make quite a big deal about the violence but you will hardly notice it–a great deal of shooting, some of that orange glop they used in the 1970s, but hardly emotionally wrenching like, say, The Wild Bunch or Texas Chainsaw Massacre…great performance by Scott Wilson who shows up on TV a lot these days.”
