i think the film be good with fine act come from the star represent yvette mimieux and tommy lee jones . jones be in his first major movie of his career and perform well . the jail house rape of yvette be very graphic and i doubt if any other movie will show such a powerful scene unless you see two woman again where the italian star be similarly abuse . perhaps the scene show jones in a gun battle with the local police be not too realistic a it might have be but overall i believe the story ring fairly true to life and regret that it have to be place in the area that present the law a have such men who would take advantage of a good look blond woman in distress . the truth be that such thing do happen and if nothing else the movie remind u all that while it be good to try to help stranger in need and it be not wise to pick up hitchhiker .
