Aside from a fairly brutal scene where the killer bounces a woman on her head to knock her out then binds her and drowns her in the bath, Donald Cammell's thriller is instantly forgettable.

The narrative seemingly passes by in a blur of pointless lingering shots of scrub land hillsides, dusty deserts, rocks, side streets and power lines in what comes across as self indulgence for self indulgence stakes, unless Cammell tried to make his film as 'arty' as possible. In which case he failed. Oh and just a thought. Just because Cammell filmed a small fish flopping about instead of showing knife slashes to a victim does not make this some sort of clever giallo.

Great review Dem. I really had high hopes for this one, but found it hugely disappointing.

Ha,ha, thanks, Mojo. I really wanted to like it, but it seemed to get completely lost in both style and substance. Didn't really help that the actors were poor. Would have been a lot better with Keith David in the lead instead of David Keith.

Plenty of people seem to like it. Didn't appeal to myself or Mojo though.

THE IRISHMAN- If Scorsese never makes another film,then this would be a fitting swansong.

I've watched 90 mins, was hooked! Will conclude next week!

Wife fell asleep as it didn't have mobile phones, wifi or complex "I like him but don't know how to tell him" young adult "problems" in the plot. Hoping she'll stay awake for concluding part....

I was pissed I never got to hear what his band was haha. Not seen Blue Ruin but I’m led to believe that all of his films are pretty hardcore. Will seek it out.
