Good movie. It was one of my mom's favorites. After that she couldn't watch any show that had Richard Lynch without getting angry all over again. Good movie. It was one of my mom's favorites. After that she couldn't watch any show that had Richard Lynch without getting angry all over again. Whenever I saw Lynch, I thought of the scene he had with Pacino in Scarecrow but I nonetheless thought he was a very good bad guy in many films. I'm guessing Lynch was the guy who tried to have sex with Pacino then beat him when he refused? it's on my list! thanks for the remind!  I've heard that it's Gene Hackman's favorite of his own films. I really need to see it at some point. Have you guys seen it yet? I rewatched it and now want it and I don't get movies all that often. Because it was a buddy movie of a couple of losers trying to get somewhere in life with struggles and something sad happens to one of them in the end? I dunno man. I don't see the connection! LOL Don't forget a hefty dose of homoeroticism. Seriously or sarcastic? If the former I didn't see it between the two guys. Only place it shows up is in the prison work farm with another prisoner. Starring Al Pacino and Gene Hackman. This is such an underrated gem. It fits in with the era of "Us vs Them and we have a sad ending" types of movies of the time. The everyday type of basic man that gives you hope only to not have it all happen for the guy you are rooting for. I don't know how this one has slipped under the radar of all those similar movies of the era. Might be time for a rewatch soon. Your thoughts on those who had seen it? I. ?

I haven't seen it in many years, but count me in with many others here in saying it's a pretty underrated gem.
Both Hackman and Pacino have mentioned that this is one of their personal favorite movies.
