Product Description:
Steve McQueen ("The Great Escape") and Ali MacGraw ("Love Story") are at their finest as husband and wife thieves on the run in this classic Sam Peckinpah ("The Wild Bunch" "Straw Dogs") action-thriller. The sizzling screenplay by Walter Hill ("The Warriors" "The Driver") is based on a novel by pulp legend Jim Thompson ("The Grifters" "After Dark My Sweet"). The #5 box office hit of its year! Later remade with Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger.Running Time: 122 min.System Requirements:Runtime: 122 minsFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 085391136903 Manufacturer No: 113690
Amazon.com essential video:
It's better than the 1994 remake starring Kim Basinger and husband Alec Baldwin, but this 1972 thriller relies too heavily on the low-key star power of Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw, and the stylish violence of director Sam Peckinpah, reduced here to a mechanical echo of his former glory. McQueen plays a bank robber whose wife (MacGraw) makes a deal with a Texas politician to have her husband released from prison in return for a percentage from their next big heist. But when the plan goes sour, the couple must flee to Mexico as fast as they can, with a variety of gun-wielding thugs on their trail. MacGraw was duly skewered at the time for her dubious acting ability, but the film still has a raw, unglamorous quality that lends a timeless spin to the familiar crooks-on-the-lam scenario. As always, Peckinpah rises to the occasion with some audacious scenes of action and suspense, including a memorable chase on a train that still grabs the viewer's attention. Not a great film, but a must for McQueen and Peckinpah fans. --Jeff Shannon

An action packed thriller with Steve McQueen and Ali McGraw leading a good cast directed by Sam Peckinpah that keeps you on the edge of your seats. One of Steve McQueen's best performances keeping you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. A must for every adventure collector.

This review is for the Blu-Ray version of this film. I really like this film and the transfer is the best I have seen. I had the Beta and Laser disc versions and this one looks wonderful.

I always thought this was one of Steve McQueen"s best films and is far better than the remake made later on!Ali Macgraw also gave a fine performance!Sam Peckinpah did a great job directing!

If you have never seen this movie than don't waste your time. It might have been good in the 70's, but it doesn't hold up over time. This reminds me of a terrible made for TV movie. It's no cool hand Luke.
