Rating: 3.0
How you value it is relative to what you wanted.
The main reason for owning this movie is if you like Dennis Hopper and want to have a collection of movies he has starred in. That's why I was willing to take a look at it in the first place. Given the cover and lack of info. (such as what aspect ratio) I suspected nothing better than a "B" movie. That it is.In its defense, I think critique criteria has become somewhat warped with special effects driven suspense and drama. That, this move doesn't have. What it does have is dialogue that, though lacking in some ways, is believable in many of the settings where they occur.Flaws? Sure. But if you like Dennis Hopper his acting isn't bad. The film overall is lacking. So his performance gets dragged along with it. The character he plays doesn't call for a range of emotions.Finally, the transfer, as mentioned by others is surely from a VHS tape. At one point the colors change in a scrolling fashion across the screen as you would see in a VHS tape.All in all, I consider it worth having. Not because it is a great movie; because It's part of Dennis Hopper's filmography.
