I liked it. Robert Blake played his lad role well. The ring scenes were very realistic - not phony like those Rocky movies. Earnest Borgnine looked trim and fit - he put a lot of feeling into his role. Catherine Spaak was cool as ever. Then there was that weird hippie hit-man. The surprise ending was cool. The film was well-paced and held your interest. The setting in the American southwest was depicted vividly - the diners, the freeways, the backyard pools. There was a real sense of authenticity to the film. Robert Blake is a real down-to-earth actor. He seems like he's not acting. One funny thing about the film were those girly shorts Robert Blake wore to jog with.
