Dissipates much of its energy with plot developments reminiscent of "Badlands" and other movies about celebrity lawbreakers.

Strong cast and I enjoyed the visuals that accompanied the melodramatic plot. The chemistry between leading characters worked for me and as the movie flowed I empathized with the farm boys' plight.

This movie is a reflection of what Iowa was really like at that time in the 80's. Growing up here all I remember hearing about is how tough it was for farmers and many were losing their farms at the time. Wonderful movie. Yes, its not a Hollywood blockbuster, but if you understand what it was like growing up here then you'd agree.
