Directed by: Larry Cohen Starring: Tony Lo Bianco, Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, Sylvia Sidney, Sam Levene another bizarro feature from larry cohen like q: the winged serpent, i don't know what sort of genre classification could really be appropriate--it starts out as a seemingly ordinary detective story but quickly spirals out of control to a "how did we get here from there" sort of ending if you're a cohen fan then you already know the kind of weirdness to expect. give it a look either way, it's definitely one of the more unique cop movies you'll ever see. also: watch for andy kaufman in one of his only feature film appearances. i think he has one line. RATING: 3.5 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0075930/

I'm quite amazed that this film actually works. Like Zardoz, it could easily have become either too pretentious or too cheezy, but Cohen does a good job, as do all of the actors. Though the overacting of the snipervictims made me giggle tremendously. Fans of David Cronenberg should definately check this one out. 4

Ha, I can't believe there's a Film Dump entry for this one! Some pretty cool stuff, neat ideas. Generally well-paced and well-made. With slightly better actors, a lot more money, and someone to polish up the script, this could be a really good movie. Rating: 3.5
