Motorcycle Cops, Friends, and Honesty Above All

As a 10 yr veteran cop in the 70's and 80's, this classic was an inspiration for all motor-cops. It sets the pace of law enforcement. Slow days combined with mystery, love, and deadly action. It shows why cops are so clickish, and about how friendship cop bonding is the most important ... except honesty. When your partner dies it's bad enough, but when it's you who does it ..... it's the end of the world. Then when you are finally on your way out of the rut and do a nice thing for someone .... it's your turn .... five stars for storyline, beauty, truth about the "job", and the love/hate we all experience.

Wonderful 70s Nostalgia With A Message

In this overly-ironic age, no one would consider producing such an earnest and moral movie. This was not the case in the early 70s and this film, a directorial debut, shows a little slice of life in 1973 Arizona. The photography is wonderful, making one ache for the wide open spaces of the desert. All of the performances are acceptable and some are most memorable, including those of Robert Blake as the central character and Mitchell Ryan as a bigoted, heartless and useless detective. Take off your 21st century spectacles and enjoy.

One of the best!

This one of many many very good u.s. movies in the 70ties. Very well photografed and acted. A classic!

But, I liked it

All in all it's not a great movie. I found the plot somewhat convoluted. The acting is awful at times. Most of the main characters are people I would not associate with but John Wintergreen (a young Robert Blake) was all right. He had an overdeveloped sense of fairness, right and wrong that would eventually do him in. The movie has a quirky personality. At times it's intentionally funny but some of the great scenes are when it's unintentionally funny. I liked the background music. More than a few times it was perfectly suited as background for the associated scene. The chase scenes were well done, at times overdone. The raw, seedy side of the Southwest was the perfect backdrop for this movie. I could almost smell the stale cigarette smoke, beer and urine. The scenery was at times Kodak perfect. Twenty-five years ago I really liked the last song - the one that plays over the credits. Today, I find it preachy and very 60's. I'm surprised the movie has not achieved cult status.
