1971 sports drama
Rating: 10/20
Plot: A college kid tries to play basketball during a turbulent period in American history.
This Nicholson-directed movie is too dull to be even anything that you should be curious about. Questionable editing, confusing characterization, and clunky plot development make this a frustrating work that isn't even interesting as a product of its time. It's very dated, and I suspect it was even a little dated when it came out.
William Tepper, Karen Black, and especially Bruce Dern did well with what they had to work with, but that unfortunately wasn't a lot.
The basketball scenes were pretty good although flashy editing made me a little dizzy. There were also probably too many basketball scenes.
