It's as though an alien is guessing how a human would make sense of alien logic. Insane suicide scene and blowtorch violence, but endlessly drull!

Drags a bit in the middle but the opening and the third act make this movie worth watching. Some fun experimentation from Roeg and Hackman is Hackman of course.

It’s a bit grainy. But like bad quality wise. Could use a remaster.you’re kidding me. I just watched the new world yesterday and they use the exact same song. das rheingold vorspiel. What a funny coincidence. I don’t even know what’s happening. So that wasn’t a dream. I’m very very confused of what just happened. This was initially a rated x movie??? I guess I could see why with that once scene. Also terrible court scene. She would’ve been stopped in a second of talking. I’m so confused. He found gold. Was that not his gold? Whatever. It was ok. Great beginning but then it kinda went all over the place
