I never understood Peter Fonda's appeal. He wasn't believable in any role, especially playing a Hell's Angel. Peter Fonda plays someone named Larry. He does this bad fake laughing throughout the movie. He and his partner (Adam Roarke) take the wife and child of a grocery store manager (Roddy McDowall) hostage and rob the store. At least they got through that part quickly. The rest of the movie is just them in a Dodge Charger with Susan George fighting constantly and being chased by police led by Vic Morrow.
I saw this on HBO when I was thirteen. It made an impression on me then, but it's just crap. Based on a novel. They needed a literary source for this?
Available in The Criterion Channel.
