This movie is incredible. It has the reputation of being a horrible mess(thanks to Kit Carson’s great making of feature, American Dreamer), so some people may come in ready to hate it, but you will be surprised. Clearly there was a more traditional 3 act plot structure to the film originally, but Hopper felt comfortable to throw that out the window while editing, in favor of something that resembles a series of memories and collected moments-every single scene taken on its own is incredibly strong. It’s wildly textured, emotionally intense, covers a lot of thematic ground, but its all of a piece-it works. There’s images and moments in this that will stay with you. It’s a fascinating movie to say the least.
- Currently 5.0/5 Stars.

This is a truly loathsome work of self-pity and self-aggrandizement, whose charms include smug, playful racism, and casually brutal misogyny.
The film is barely competent in terms of basic cinematic technique, completely incompetent in terms of storytelling, and fatuous and offensive in its supposed “themes”.
Dennis Hopper’s career was effectively ended for over a decade by the disaster that was this film, and that is hardly sufficient punishment. In short, one of the worst and most offensive films I have ever seen.
Spit.
