| TIME MagazineStefan KanferThere are some men whose tragedy arises not from what they suffer but what they fail to feel. Little Fauss and Big Halsy are such men -- and so are those who made the movie. |
| User ReviewCJ Choly moses, this is a great movie. i caught it on the speed channel at two in the morning a couple years ago and have been looking for a copy to own ever since. |
| User ReviewBuck DThis is a guy's flick. Period. If you happen to be from No. CA, and were of Nam draft age, road bikes hard, did the same to chicks; like wildness and yet are sensitive, hate authority and BS, then this mixed bag is nostalgic to the hilt. A chilling short shot of an aircraft carrier leaving S.F. near the Golden Gate defies all the gaffs and goofiness. Good acting and out of character for both these dudes..(particularly the green-weenie nowadays "Halsy." |
| User ReviewChip FWhy isn't this picture better known? Great movie turns the whole hero/sidekick cliche on its head. Redford's swaggering, bullying Halsy is eerily prescient of a recent U.S. president. |
| User ReviewClyde VGritty character study. Redford is great! |
| User ReviewHans OOne of the best roles for Redford. He plays a narcissist. A very interesting film. |
| User ReviewDan LA great look at Redford while he was still willing to play unsympathetic characters. He supposedly hates the film, but he's great in it playing of man of great looks, some charm, and minimal morals. Pollard and Hutton are very good as well as is the Johnny Cash song for the film. |
| User ReviewRick RI'd never heard of this Robert Redford film before about him as a womanizing, manipulative motorcycle racers and his quiet, introverted rival/partner Michael J. Pollard. According to IMDB, Reford and Pollard did not get along in real life, which lent itself to their onscreen rivalry. Lauren Hutton plays the love interest, but there's really not a lot here to recommend other than getting to see Pollard in a leading role and a wonderful performance by Noah Beery Jr. and Lucille Benson as Pollard's parents. I suppose it's also kind of interesting to see Reford playing basically a jerk. Johnny Cash provides the theme song. |
