    I'm with SilentWarrior on this. I didn't expect much from it but was decently impressed by quality direction and excellent cinematography. Unsure about the morals of the film perhaps... 12 years 11 months ago

    I was struck by it's B-movie, cinéma vérité style, plunging the viewer into near darkness for long stretches of time. To me it screams 70s cinema, even though it was made at the very start (1971). It holds up thanks to two performances: Clint Eastwood's defining role as Dirty Harry, of course, but also Andrew Robinson (who will always be Garak to me) as the nutso Scorpio 6 years 11 months ago
