An Arizona motorcycle cop compensates for his shortness by using his brains to maintain order in a world that's rapidly spinning out of control. Lots of violence but the movie has style and some great action sequences shot in Monument Valley.Product Identifiers

Worth a watch, perhaps a purchase
The film is okay. Since this is James Guercio's first - and only - directorial turn there are some unusual approaches taken and some rough edges. One of the things I was reminded of is his approach in some scenes to shoot from what he must have considered the main character's POV. As such, in those scenes (interior mostly) you will see folks from the neck down - no face. To emphasize this fact for the audience Blake's character - John Wintergreen - mentions the fact that he and Alan Ladd are the same height (5' 4") to the two women behind him in the waiting line to order from a food truck. I could be completely wrong, but that would make the director more inept than I think he was to explain those camera angles. Conrad Hall's work on the exterior shots, on the other hand, are beautiful and a big plus. I liked the story and found it as easy to follow as, say, Bullitt. Could it be improved? Perhaps. Could it have been worse? Absolutely. I think this is an individual thing which the viewer can only answer for themselves. The chase could have been done better. Having 2 cops on Electra Glides chasing a group of cyclists on smaller bikes just didn't work as well as it might have. The music? Mark Spoelstras two tunes, The Marcels tune and Madura's concert music work well and do not belie the film's origin of the early 70s. The movie music does not fair as well. It sounds kind of dated and a bit like Chicago (as it should. Members of the group played on the soundtrack and Guercio produced all of their albums up through Chicago XI). The last tune"Tell Me" has been characterized as preachy by some. Putting on 'gospel sounding' background vocals does not MAKE it preachy, but I get why some would come away with that feeling. I like the tune and think Terry Kath does a good job singing it with the only weak spot being the ad-libs on the ride out. The ending has been accused of being a riff on Easy Rider which pre-dates this film by a few years. I get that, but to me it feels more like a statement on how poorly different generations communicate with each other and the divisiveness that occurs due to fear, not valuing other human beings as one ought and the prejudice that comes from those actions/feelings. (kind of like current day, eh?) Should you buy this? If you like what has been come to be called 'cult' films then yes. I would honestly suggest seeing it at least once and then making the purchase decision. For me I'll watch this enough times to make my cost per view $1 or below. That's just me.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
