Pretentious, overenergized, muddled, intellectually bogus, and very entertaining for it.

A film that depends on deceiving us has got to play by its own rules. If we are going to be deceived in general, fine, but then we can't be cheated on particulars.

A carnival of bang-up stunt scenes. which Richard Rush presents with marvelous subtlety.
