The simplistic storyline involves Kris Kristofferson (in his debut) as Cisco Pike, a formerly successful musician who has just given up dealing drugs to the relief of his disapproving girlfriend (Karen Black). Gene Hackman plays a crooked cop blackmailing him to sell $10,000 of pot in 53 hours. It also features Harry Dean Stanton as a drug addict, Antonio Fargas, Warhol star Viva, Joy Bang, Wavy Gravy, and country musician Doug Sahm. The storyline is too derivative of gangster films where the reformed has to do one last job but the characters, cast and Kristofferson soundtrack carry it through and it has become a cult movie.
3/5
