This movie sucked on all cylinders, it was a disjointed boring mess that went nowhere. The true crime was that it never realizes the potential it had; decent cast (sans Oates) interesting premise and great locations.
Warren Oates was miscast as the lead, he looks unkempt and unwashed, he reminds me of John C. Holmes in his final days here. Oates just mails it in as his performance is detached and languid, Leslie Caron looks very uncomfortable and disingenuous in her role as well. The lead should have gone to a more competent actor like Joe Don Baker, someone with presence that could convey feelings and was at home in these bleak outings.
I recorded this on my DVR from a TCM 3 a.m. showing, it was relegated to that slot because it is a horrid dry movie. I quickly erased this waste after one viewing.
