I took a chance on this gem now that it's out on DVD and I must say that it was surprisingly good. It's stylish, well acted, sharply written and very fast paced. Great characters and the action scenes were dynamite.
Stoltz, who is obviously very young here, does a fantastic job as the teenage fugitive. The lead actress, who plays the hooker Lucky 13 (the film's original title), is excellent in a B movie kind of way.
Don't miss RUNNING HOT. It's a terrific movie and a great last hurrah for the grindhouse/drive-in/42nd street popcorn films of it's era.
By the way, Tarantino fans must see this film; it became painfully obvious to me that this movie was the key inspiration for TRUE ROMANCE and NATURAL BORN KILLERS (two films he wrote and sold), even moreso than BADLANDS, BONNIE AND CLYDE or WILD AT HEART. If you're familiar with his work, you'll definitely see what I'm talking about.
