Trackdown (1976)
5/10
A forgotten classic? Hardly
26 January 2023
While not totally bad, this is no classic. It's more like a made-for-TV movie with some B actors and a humdrum storyline. I was a pretty avid moviegoer in the '70s and I never saw this. Jim Mitchum was probably at his best in this one, which pretty well sums up his career.

Erik Estrada turned in his usual performance, which wouldn't impress anyone who wasn't already impressed with his looks. Erik had his turn on TV as a heartthrob for the young female TV fans, and this isn't his usual kind of work, but he did OK in the role.

The production values are pretty low, the writing is kind of poor, and the whole point of the film still isn't clear to me. If it was ever released to theaters, I missed it. I know that there were some memorable films made in the '70s, but this isn't one of them.
