I watched this film last night and was very disappointed. The direction was flat and the acting was average. The reason why I thought that the acting was so sub-par was that it seemed terribly obvious that the actors were acting, particularly the biker gang (I couldn't imagine a less intimidating gang of bikers). Marlon Brando wasn't bad, but he wasn't great either. I can see why this film has a minor cult following but for me it was cheesy and had cardboard cut-out characters. Its not a terrible film and its not boring (I'll grant the fact that it does have some entertainment value), its just not that good either. I'd say its ever so slightly above average. 6 out of 10.
