This is a great action adventure about revenge on a crooked small town Texas Sheriff.It's a must see!!

this was probably my fav. movie of all time. i cant tell u why. it is neck+neck with ''the boys of company c'' i guess it filled all the stereotypes that we are all acustumed to. good ol' boys...the manipulated girlfriend...crooked cop....actually it may be quite acurate. i await this masterpieces arrival to dvd. just relax and enjoy this wonderful movie.

I bought this because I am a John Karlen fan and there isn't a lot out there beyond Dark Shadows where he has much of a part. There are a few, but this isn't one of them. It's okay if you like car chases but if you are looking for Karlen, it doesn't offer much. I will say that when he is on screen, he doesn't disappoint. Bo Hopkins is fine and Susan George is good and the movie is okay if you're a Timothy Bottoms fan. The movie is typical of some movies in the Western U.S. with everyone wearing cowboy hats and everyone acting like they're still in 1865.

If you like movies in Texas, this one is for you. It has a similar theme to a fair number of 1970's movies: Payback. Pretty Susan George is very good, always seemingly "caught in the middle" - ever see Straw Dogs? Bo Hopkins is an excellent actor, particular in Sheriff roles. He has that aura about him - he has a Southern drawl, laid back, calm most of the time, but then he'll explode at any moment. Cool. Throw in some police chases and a murder, a shady Morgan Woodward, and there you have it. Must see for Hopkins fans.

Actually ordered it because my family was at Blue Hole near San Marcos, Texas, and, were in some of the 4th of July picnic scenes as part of the crowd. If one is obserative they can see that a lot of people had coats on. A cold front had come through Texas during filming and made for a cold 4th of July picnic. Got everyones autographs and it was a lot of fun. Timothy Bottoms classic.
