Filmed in lake Havasu in 1971 on a tiny budget, this movie packs quite a punch, much more than it might at first seem given its gritty production values. With great performances by Richard Egan and Jan Murray, it provides more than enough plot twists and action to keep the story moving plus a music score by rock legend Sean Bonnewell that sounds great more than 40 years later.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
