...an unusually tedious chase movie...
just a dumb little car chase movie
...very silly, empty-headed, totally amiable nonsense.
...noteworthy mainly because a part of the deal to make it allowed Ron Howard the chance to direct his own next picture.
Mindless fluff, certainly nothing deep or meaningful here. Lots of car chases, very fast paced, good cinematography and of course lots of dust! The cast is fine, very 1970's.
