Eddie Harrison film-authority.com ..a rambling, surprising film riddled with non-PC dialogue and situations that reflect clearly on a bygone time and way of life.... Rated: 4/5 Jan 11, 2024 Full Review Jacoba Atlas Los Angeles Free Press Where other movies fear to tread, 92 in the Shade goes full force, and that energy is both its most interesting aspect and its most serious defect.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/17/20 Full Review Audience Member Released the same year as Ranch Deluxe adapts his book and directs, which is the best decision he made. Warren Oates is wonderful, as usual. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member full of great american character actors, whose performances are really all that save an anemic script poorly executed by a one-time director. if you're a fan of warren oates and joe spinnell, however, this is a must-see, as it's the only film i'm aware of in which they shared the frame, if only for one fleeting scene. this never saw the light of day on dvd; thankfully, at least one vhs rip is making the rounds. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A great cast produces somewhat disappointing results... after scoring huge with RACE WITH THE DEVIL & THE HIRED HAND, my expectations were sky high for this third Peter Fonda/Warren Oates effort. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews
