1981 was a solid year for movies. This one started out with a whimper, but slowly builds to a bang at a perfect pace.
It’s one of the more absorbing movies I’ve watched in a while. I didn’t pause it or look at my phone once.

I liked it quite a bit. I do well with Walter Hill movies more often than not.

I enjoyed it. Reminded me a bit of Deliverance.

Solid, gritty Walter Hill movie.

Yep, love this one. Definitely one of Walter Hill’s top films (up there for me with Hard Times, The Driver & Extreme Prejudice).
Frequent Hill collaborator Ry Cooder’s music really comes into its own for the climax, and the build up to it is suspenseful. Solid cast too.
Another film it reminds me of, which came out a couple years later was ‘Hunter’s Blood’ (1986). Doesn’t reach the same heights, but decent enough. Then you got Rituals (1977), which is definitely a Deliverance influenced feature.
