Forgotten Gem from a bygone Era
Much better than expected
I found this on Youtube and decided against my best judgment to give it a look. While this movie has its problems, it's an above average thriller about 3 runners being chased through the desert by an ad hoc militia. Some of the issues: 30 seconds of a man putting Vaseline between his toes is about 25 seconds too long, and while M. Emmet Walsh is a very good actor, he doesn't make all that terrifying a villain. But the plusses outweigh the minuses. The acting's pretty good, the situations are not so far out that they defy belief, and the pacing is solid. This isn't going to supplant Rambo as your go to action film, but you could do a lot worse.
