An early lead for Gene Hackman (who has just turned 93) building upon his recent success as Popeye Doyle in 'The French Connection' although here played more as a road movie than as a thriller and this time the cop he plays is corrupt.
A young and beardless Kris Kristofferson gets an 'introducing' credit as a drug dealer (they could be portrayed as heroes in those days). Karen Black has an even more faraway look in her eyes than usual in big-hair and ankle-length cheesecloth dresses as the hippie chick to end all hippie chicks.
It's all a bit of a shambles and I could have done without all that harmonica music on the soundtrack. But Harry Dean Stanton's good.
