Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
B road-movie that serves only to underline how much Monte Hellman transformed the genre with Two-Lane Blacktop. This outing offers little more than plastic, would-be superstars playing at being kooky people as Fonda holds up a supermarket and drives around furiously, the police in pursuit, with his mechanic and girl-along-for-the-ride in tow (yes, another fashionable three-way relationship). The script, about small-timers who wished they were bigger, is soon totally undermined by Fonda's most complacent performance to date and Susan George's sub-Goldie Hawn antics. By way of compensation, the locations are quite pretty and the car stunts are handled with a certain verve.Author: CPe

A simple film yes it is but found it really enjoyable if you like road movies its a must.
This film appeared on the theme title of fall guy (Lee Magors singing) but he says he blew up for Raquel Welch but it was Susan George.
Also Bridget Fonda is watching it in Jacky Brown - Report as inappropriate
