2.0*/5.0*

An action-led road movie, though the action comes in rather short bursts. The story is very minimal, as is the dialogue. The focus lies on the scenery (which is nice if you like the barren West, it's not really for me though) and the fast car, which takes on the police squad with relative ease.

The lead is pretty cool and the chases are fun, the rather lengthy bits in between less so. I'm not the biggest fan of that "gritty 70s vibe" and the setting is dull as can be, but there are still some fun scenes scattered throughout. Not enough to keep me fully engaged, but not as bad as I'd feared.
