                             If you like stuff like "Payday" you'll love this.  I wasn't quite as taken with it as others have been, but it was very interesting and worth seeing. 

                          There is a lot of what they call "acting":  inner self expressions,  crying, struggling with the meaning of ones life.  To the point where, hey, maybe let's get back to the movie guys.  Some of this feels like the deleted scenes you watch after the movie and think "oh".  but protagonist Robert Blake is excellent and though pretentious in places it is grounded in a solid plot about a murder mystery.  and anyone, not just police, can relate to Blakes predicament where the low on the totem pole co workers are morons and the slightly more intelligent higher ups are ridiculously eccentric.  So thumbs up.

I'm a big fan of this movie.  I had a VHS copy several years ago that I watched 5 or 6 times.  I haven't purchased the DVD yet.

I have heard this was a failure at the box office, which just goes to show you that movie goers are not always right. I like this very much, especially Blake's performance in it.

I like'd it when he attempted to prove his tough guy credentials by saying that he was the exact same height as Alan Ladd!

Picked up this movie 3 or 4 years ago on VHS for around $2 bucks and was pleasantly surprised as I had never heard of this film upon viewing it. Highly recommended film.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
