A Chicago mobster goes to Kansas City to collect from an associate who's not paying his dues. The script for this film could not have been more than ten pages. There's hardly any plot. Some films make up for a lack of story by presenting entertaining vignettes. This film makes up for lack of story by using up lots of screen time showing people walking from one place to another or driving from one place to another. The vignettes have no rhyme or reason and little is revealed about the characters. When combined with the lethargic pace, it makes for an underwhelming experience. The talents of Marvin and Hackman are wasted. Spacek is notable in her film debut.
score 3/10
