david carradine show off his lack of depth a an actor . hollywood would have be good off if barbara hershey have never be discover . martin scorsese show off his penchant for violence without any reason whatsoever . if you want to see an inane film and in which bad guy wreak havoc and men who chase them be completely inept and this be the film for you . no one could believe this garbage . the beginning be silly and the end be just stupid . the crook escape from a chain gang and which do not have any chain ( . ) and and then the crook be capture and put on a chain gang again ( . ) . of course and the crook ( david carradine ) escape again so of course and there can be a big shoot em up at the end . this summary do not do justice . the plot be predictable and be unrealistic . the other problem i have with this film be that the character do not care what damage they do to other people life . in fact and they enjoy hurt whoever they can . furthermore and boxcar bertha be never bring to justice . the film say that it be okay to kill and steal as long a you get away with it . all of the actor be inept . scorsese do not add anything with his direct even if the plot be vapid . avoid this waste of time and watch rag bull for a period piece . this be a complete disappointment .
