Critique
Kind of a mish mash of a plot that really didn't go anywhere. It was a decent watch just to see a glimpse of Chicago in the mid 70's. Some wild clothes and great old cars. Rudy Ray Moore had a small part in this movie and not much screen time. Pretty bland for my taste though and wouldn't be a top choice for a must see list.
