Improvised film benefits from an electric performance from David Argue, a tightly wound livewire who constantly seems he's about to explode and often does, jabbering away, strutting around in underwear, brandishing his gun. Gina Carides matches him.- young, gorgeous, a believable law student. Bill Bennett was clearly less sure with Lydia Miller, who admittedly is inexperienced but isn't given the chance to do much. Brian Syron's pursuer is an ideal threat.
As in many of his movies Bennett runs out of story - it would be better as an hour. Or it needed another subplot. I like that Argue was killed because of what he did in the past but it needed something else, like Carides and her boyfriend, or Miller's kids/husband or something.
The scene where Carides and Argue get the confession out of the publican's wife is a little awkward but it did make me laugh because the cops are so outrageously unethical.
