Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Very much in the vein of Peckinpah and prefiguring the druggy motorcycle emptiness of the early Seventies ‘catwalk hippy’ scene, Manley’s film centres on a groovy motorbike gang running afoul of a local drug-lord on the Tex-Mex border. Veering between the supercharged and the dippily reflective, this was one of the first signs that the cinematic times were a-changin’.
