This film is basically a self-indulgent early 70s "rugged American white male" fantasy story that tries too hard to be a classic and fails. Overacting everywhere, but Blake is good. Lots of boring dialogue filler and poor characters and a plot that tries to go in too many directions. The large middle part of this film meanders so much and has so much overacting that it was hard to watch. It seems like the director was trying too hard to make a film that would be an "American classic," but fails. However, the cinematography is excellent with beautiful, expansive desert shots and striking visuals. After slogging through the muddled, overacted first 4/5 of the film, the hyped-up ending was predictable (for me, anyway) and overrated. No wonder this movie has mostly been forgotten.
