Review

pretty straightforward 70s hot rod film. reminded me of “two-lane blacktop” (with james taylor) even though it had a different style and tone. like a lot of 70s films it has wild west type themes like good vs. evil. this is reinforced by some of the outdoor photography, cowboy hats and the fact that one of the main characters is named billy the kid. as you can tell it’s not an amazingly deep film, in fact it borders on camp at times, but it in a good way. it has some moments of comic relief and the acting is decent enough. there are some really good scenes like the 6.45 second scene that takes place inside one of the drag race cars or the final sequence..
