      delysid d Tommy Lee Jones Kicks ass in this Old school redneck movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/06/18 Full Review Audience Member Odotettua parempi b-leffa. Panostaa enemmän dialogiin ja tarinaan kuin nämä yleensä. Nuori Tommy Lee Jones on hyvä. ***- /5 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Must see. The man can run. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Does not reflect well on men as the only decent guy the lead meets is a repeat convict. The rest include a boss who berates her, her cheating husband, a youth who carjacks her, a cop who wrongfully arrests her, and a deputy who rapes her. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member A good, gritty little exploi from the Corman era of likewise films. Most interesting for an early glimpse of Tommy Lee Jones at work. And he's great in this too! It's got its cheese, as all these films do, and some other B-movie issues here and there, but the story is great, the acting is good and they do a lot with their budgetary constraints. Not a classic of the genre, but certainly no stinker either. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member the first 35 or so minutes of this are dull as hell but the second half bumps it up somewhat. Tommy Lee Jones is great!

      John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) A woman's American odyssey becomes a road trip from hell, making her a victim of and then a fugitive from a corrupt political justice and law enforcement system that might as well be an extension of the betrayals of her workplace and home. Rated: 3/4 Sep 2, 2011 Full Review Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com Bucks the b-movie conventions by forsaking simple car chases and explosions for a surprisingly insightful little tale of rape and escape. Rated: 3.5/5 Jan 8, 2006 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 26, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews
