let me start by say that i be a fan of peckinpah . i like steve mcqueen . but this movie be just plain bad . the delivery of the dialog be flat . mcgraw be an awful actress and and mcqueen act here . well and he do not have much of a script to work with . i have so many problem with this film . ok while after steal $ 750 and 000 and they just cross into mexico in the front seat of the truck . face plaster all over tv . like the border wouldn not have reward info on them . the remake have a great cast and for this type of film and james wood show what this character should be like . his dialog delivery make you feel hate and the other version make you feel nothing . jennifer tilly be even well in her role . alec baldwin be perfect for this and kim bassinger be 10 time the actress of mcgraw . i be sorry and the 72 version be junk . just because steve mcqueen be cool and and be dead and doesn not make everything he do the best peckinpah make a few good film and but the more i watch them the more i realize that straw dog and bring me the head of alfredo garcia be his only solid work . wild bunch . how many time do i have to be force to watch a bunch of guy laugh together to imply a sense of camaraderie . great shoot out scene but come on . be honest with yourself folk .
