Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Aryana Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Justina The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

carbuff Just a great classic '70s car chase movie. This is the kind of movie I grew up on, so I have a weakness for movies from this period. I like that it isn't anywhere near as slick and polished as modern movies, which while generally are more real and compelling visually, often oddly seem to feel less real emotionally than some older movies like this. All of the actors came through except for Peter Fonda, who really is just a terrible actor. He is talentless and no doubt only became an actor because his father Henry Fonda was so famous and successful in this line of work. A real highlight is that if you love cars like I do, the really sweet '69 440 Charger will make you ache some--what a great car. The biggest problem some people will have with this movie is that the protagonists are anti-heroes, frankly true and not particularly likable criminals, and some people won't like that you wind up rooting for them to get away (at least I did).

Cheese Hoven Imagine all the clichés of early 70s road movies rolled into one. A sub-par Bonnie and Clyde gang; a maverick sheriff who clashes with his by-the-book superior; a series of incompetent Dukes-of-Hazzard-style police chases. You've got yourself the plot of DMCL.Add to that the early 70s obsession with being gritty. The actual robbery sequence (stealing money from Roddy McDowall's safe while holding his family at gunpoint) is far nastier than it could have been and makes us lose all sympathy for the robbers. Strangely the film then carries on as if this hasn't happened and mostly (up until the "shock" ending) treats the characters in a light-hearted way. We're supposed to be on their side, despite one of them (with the complete approval of the other) having broken into someone's home, pulled a woman violently from the shower and held her and her daughter in a state of fear at gunpoint, then tied them up and left them, while McDowall is frantic about what has happened to them. There is even a threat that the child would be hurt if necessary. And he is shown as being the "good guy" of the gang! Susan George is oddly miscast as Mary. She unfortunately speaks an unpleasant accent (when she has such a good speaking voice normally). I have no idea why she is dirty, however.Peter Fonda is Larry, and to be fair, it is easy to see why he is 'crazy'. Mary is initially attracted to Larry but curiously seems to favour the third gang member (ie the house breaker) later after he gallantly defends her.The dialogue is either very banal or expositional and the action is the semi-comic no-one-really-gets-hurt car carnage common of the era.The "shock" ending is heavily telegraphed long before it happens and only seems to be there, like the robbery, be make the film look weightier than it actually is.

Mr-Fusion but it more than makes up for that in sweet road action. One car chase leads to another, bridges are jumped, and there's even a low-flying helicopter chase. And as much as I like Adam Roarke's pensive angst in this movie, the real one to watch out for is Vic Morrow. For the crime that Fonda and Roarke committed (unarmed theft), you've gotta wonder why Morrow would come down on them as hard as he did. His big move in the end (although brilliant) was overly vindictive. What makes this hard- line lawman tick? And that ending's a true shocker that hits me right where I live.But in the end, this movie's a classic. The chases are fun, the stunts are cool, and it's just an awesome ride.And that is one righteous Charger. 7.5/10

roscoelaw I had heard of this movie by title only and finally got to see it. My mistake. This was poorly written, poorly directed and poorly casted. If I was supposed to accept these three as anti-heroes, sorry to disappoint you. I didn't feel for any of them, not even during the introspective walnut grove scene. Peter Fonda was OK. I couldn't wrap my mind around what the other guy was supposed to be. And Susan George... well, I don't know what she normally looks like to make a "best-looking" list but she did NOT look good in that film. Then there's Vic Morrow's character. What the hell? Was I supposed to accept him as some sort of super-cop? He just came across as a dick with nothing to back up the character. And what's with Vic Morrow and helicopters anyway? The dialogue was horrible. It was disjointed and wordy at times. And there's nothing like an abrupt ending. You saw it coming but it was like "BANG!... Done." Chalk this one up to a car chase movie and not a very good one. Take it off your queue list and find something else.
