Top CriticDirector Sam Peckinpah's final film is certainly not among his best, but it is interesting nonetheless.

I don't demand that all movies make sense. I sometimes enjoy movies that make no sense whatsoever, if that's their intention. But a thriller is supposed to hold together in some sort of logical way, isn't it?

Top CriticNever been more current than it is now--and if it's imperfect, it's imperfect in exactly the right way.

Despite some script contrivances, it finds Peckinpah high in the saddle again and full of the same old thunder and lightning.

A muddled thriller ... Peckinpah seems more interested in shooting laughable action sequences and exposing the bare breasts of his actresses than in relating a coherent story.

Top CriticSome individual sequences -- including a car chase early in the film - have the lunatic humor that might have made the rest of the film bearable, though probably nothing would justify the film's final blood bath.

Sam Peckinpah's final movie is stylish, has loads of nudity and other debauchery, and makes virtually no sense at all. Cheers!

The structure is a mess (the film was recut against Peckinpah's wishes), which ultimately makes it difficult to tell whether its oddly compelling qualities are the result of a coherent artistic strategy or the cynical carelessness of a director sidelined.

Top CriticIt rattles along well enough as a thriler of the political paranoia variety.
