okay and the story make no sense and the character lack any dimensionally and the best dialogue be ad libs about the low quality of movie and the cinematography be dismal and and only edit save a bit of the muddle and but sam peckinpah direct the film . somehow and his direction be not enough . for those who appreciate peckinpah and his great work and this movie be a disappointment . even a great cast can not redeem the time the viewer waste with this minimal effort . the proper response to the movie be the contempt that the director san peckinpah and james caan and robert duvall and burt young and bo hopkins and arthur hill and and even gig young bring to their work . watch the great peckinpah film . skip this mess .
