Dir. James William Guercia

Aroview: Patrolling the Arizona desert highways, a naïve, lonely motorcycle cop (Robert Burke) makes up in idealism what he lacks in height, and dreams of becoming a homicide detective. Examines an idealogical flip-side of EASY RIDER, with an attention to character and aesthetics that in fact improves upon its influential predecessor.

4 stars (Very Good) Shattered idealism; police brutality; police corruption and moral ambiguity all mark this slow and almost symphonic anti-heroic movie set in 1970's Arizona. The real star of the show is the director of photography--beautiful film, sordid subject matter ~Anon

3 stars (Good Enough) Terrific locale. Robert BLAKE probably in his best role but there are some good performances from those in support. All the characters are interesting and the plot is simple but effectively told. ~Tubbs
