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

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

Some 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.

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