    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Writer-director James Bridges originally wrote and edited the film so that the story played chronologically backward, similar to what Memento and Irreversible did 16 years later. However, the studio got nervous, thinking it was too complicated and hard to follow, and had the film re-edited in chronological order for release.
    • Goofs
      Mike's cigarette changing of position in between shots during the car scene. First the cigarette is unlit in his mouth but during close-ups on his face the cigarette disappears, and when the camera changes to another position he's holding a half lit cigarette.
    • Quotes

      Philip: You want to know everything? Well, believe me you don't. This was an enforcement killing. I mean they were making a statement.

      Betty: What statement?

      Philip: Are you the girl with the, uh, C scale out of tune?

    Great movie!!
    This is one of the most harrowing pictures I have ever seen. It is a very good and very underrated film. All of the actors do a great job in their roles and Darrell Larson gives an outstanding portrayal of a young man who inadvertently signed his own death warrant.

    I only wish that this film was nominated for an Academy Award for best picture, best actress and best supporting actor.!!

    If you have not seen this film, be sure and check it out--nerve wracking, nail-biting, and an edge of your seat film--you don't know what to expect from minute to minute.

    One of the best films of any year!!
