1.0 out of 5 stars Dated and dull

Uncut magazine from England rated this 5 stars and DVD of the month. They also claimed the Coen Brothers paid tribute to it Big Lebowski. This was enough to make me shell out the bucks and buy it.

Imagine my dissapointment. The picture and sound quality were dire. Too much contrast in the video and the sound had to be turned up super loud to follow the dialogue.

The movie came across as just another viet vet/counter culture exploitation movie with a trite plot that hardly went anywhere and never engaged me or made me feel any suspense. Dialogue was dated and cliched.

I'll never trust an Uncut Reviewer again. Don't waste your money on this one.

I love this movie with its story and actors but unfortunately the movie should be restored so that the picture can reach its full glory. After this

I have loved this movie for decades and always wanted a copy. At last I have it. It went straight into the DVD player quality is good for an 80's movie and a disk that is not "mass produced". The signed copy was unexpected for me and struck me as cool. I originally saw " The American Success Co." version, as I remember it being called, on HBO(?) as a kid about 1980. I cannot recommend this film enough. Super fun to watch and surely one of Bridges best performances ever. Love the story.
