Customer Reviews

When Spielberg was good, he was very good
This is one of Spielberg's very best films, a low-budget road movie made after the TV film "Duel", and I rate it alongside Jaws.

Great cinematography, pace and some terrific acting (I especially love the dialogue between the old couple in the car at the roadside)

And although it's about a dysfunctional family par excellence, there's not a teddy bear or little boy looking for his lost father in sight.

Goldie before she was Goldie Hawn
As with all Spielberg you can have a go at it for being sentimental. In this movie a very young-looking Goldie Hawn appears in a non-comedy role. It's a great performance from 35 years ago and the movie is basically about the police trying to catch up with a pair of Bonnie and Clyde types. It's hardly Spielberg's best but worth watching.

Early Spielberg classic
There is a certain quality about all films made around this time. The cinematography in this film is outstanding, the acting is good and although the film is fairly long, it moves at a fast enough pace to hold the viewer's attention. An absorbing road movie/drama based on a true story.
