Not a particularly good film


and Scott Glen is not that good in it, which is surprising given it's only a year or so away from The Right Stuff. And - it's too long, be better if they chopped 20 minutes out of it.

I thought it was pretty good.

I agree, a thoroughly enjoyable movie. It's got Toshiro Mifune! :)

I guess it just doesn't work for me. Normally I find Scott Glenn very watchable but in this film his performance seems disinterested to the point of petulance.
Possibly if I'd seen it years ago and enjoyed it I still would. But watching it for the first time all I see is a mediocre central performance.

I do love this film, but geezz, your right on the money about Scott Glen. Imagine if they would have used a different actor if the time for his role.
