This is really a bad movie, and it could have been so much better.
Unless you're a Jack Nicholson fanatic, forget this one. It's his first film, and as such makes some fans want to see it. I was one of those.
The story is not a bad one, but come on..let's get real. This comes across as a Hallmark Hall of Fame production, without the quality.
I am also a fan of Brett Halsey, but even that doesn't help. His part in this is so small that you'll hardly notice it.
The film starts out without a beginning. Why is the gang so upset with Nicholson's character? They beat him up, for no real reason.
In a stupid mistake, the screenplay has one hood carry the gun and the director forgets which one has it in his possession later on.
Two guys are shot, but we never see it happen. Why? We hear shots, and the injured parties are never seen again. Why? Nicholson's character shoots in self defense, but he's terrified that they will kill him. Why? The movie drags on and on and on, boring us all to death. By the time it comes to an end, no one is dead, and we don't care one way or the other.
Nicholson is OK in his debut, but who cares? This is so lame I could hardly stay awake, and I was hoping that they would shoot the kid at the end to relieve my boredom.
Unless you just have to have everything Nicholson ever appeared in forget this one.
