Ron R Dec 16, 2018 Tough Noir drama in broad daylight with a host of disagreeable characters (Robert Ryan is excellent) is straightforwardly told to its bitter ending and offers some great desert set pieces along the way. See more
George R Jan 15, 2018 A survival film that only grew on me as it went along with its little intricacies in the plot.
