An undiscovered masterpiece


This film is and always has been an undiscovered masterpiece.

Shame, time for it to be rediscovered.

one of those movies that when you are flipping through channels and you see it on HBO/CINEMAX...you stop flipping and start watching!

Exactly

The car chase sequence at the end is out of this world.

I wouldn't say masterpiece: there's a lot to like and some things to dislike. Something different though.

I also love the Pablo Fero credit sequence.

The car chase scene was a MASTERPIECE! And it was done with REAL cars on a REAL interstate, not with pussy CGI crap!

The rest of the movie, not so much. It's very dated, has some really hokey dialog, and is very predictable in places. See my post above.

Undiscovered? It wasn't a huge hit, but it was reasonably popular in its day. Ignorant millennials and zoomers not knowing means jack shit.

Masterpiece? I mean, it's good. I just enjoyed re-watching it for the first time since I saw it on VHS in 1986.

Great Fucking Movie! Holds up even in 2023.

terrible movie TO ME.
Saw it once at release, and after it was done, I recall it be so down and depressing, I will never watch it again.
Everyone is different, and allowed to like different things in movies.
