Title: Fine work by Nicholson and others
Review: It's not Robert Towne's strongest screenplay nor Hal Ashby's strongest direction, but this film is very much worth seeing as a good examples of 1970s American cinema. If you are a Nicholson fan in particular and liked Five Easy Pieces, you would most likely enjoy this as well. Nicholson, Young, Quaid and the others do a great job here in a character study of three Navy men, two of whom must escort the other to eight years in prison for a petty theft.
