You have to wait for the very end to see the point of this depressing, one-note slice of life drama, in which Tony Franciosa is saddled with an unplayable role. The point is to attempt to throw back in the viewer's face a case of a completely unsympathetic creep, as if to say "society is responsible" when his self-destructive behavior and belligerence towards everybody ends up with him being caught bungling a trivial armed robbery of a gas station safe.
The much ado about nothing nature of this story, combined with such a lousy character and meaningless crime is wearying, and a bleeding heart message (which I would often entertain but not here) is appended where it doesn't belong. It reminds me how Donald Trump's one-man attempt to destroy our entire society keeps continuing on and on with no end in sight (other than a prison cell when his ridiculous stalling gimmicks finally run their course) is so frustrating. Unless you join his mindless cult, you have to suffer.
Tony is a good actor, but not here. Every scene his hot-headed character will erupt at the slightest imagined provocation. A true villain in a melodrama is fun to watch but this smaller-than-life creep is unwatchable -I felt like Malcolm McDowell with those toothpicks holding his eyes open during "the cure" at the end of "A Clockwork Orange" forced to watch this stinker.
