A very good movie

It has been a while since I have seen this flick and maybe I should check it again at some point. Basically, it is a really obscure flick but since I always had a weak spot for Al Pacino and Gene Hackman, I was really eager to check it out. Back then, Al Pacino just got his breakthrough with ‘The Godfather’ and that was the first movie he made afterwards. Unfortunately, even though it was actually a very good drama, it didn’t get much love at the time and it didn’t become a classic like pretty much everything else involving Al Pacino in the 70’s. In fact, I was actually quite impressed by this flick and I thought it worked really well with some great performances by Pacino, obviously at the top of his game at the time but also from Gene Hackman. Indeed, Hackman himself would say that it was his favorite performance and he was really disappointed that this movie turned out to be a flop. Basically, it is about 2 guys wandering and it reminded me of ‘Midnight Cowboy’ which was released a few years before. To conclude, even though it is nowadays pretty much forgotten, it is actually a really good flick and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in those 2 actors.
