i have never see richard thomas play a bad guy . i wasn not sure i would like him this way . and i wasn not sure he could pull it off . but this astound me . he send shiver up my spine and cause me to take a close look at street people . the movie be engross and fast paced . bruce davison be convince but all he can really play be a nice guy . the real talent here be thomas . the end be a little clumsy but perhaps that the way real people would fight . if you be a thomas fan you must see him here at his best be bad .
