Great, intelligent, fast-paced film. Clu Gulager and Lee Marvin are perfect as the cold blooded hit men. Gulager really conveys the sick sociopath well. Marvin is always in control, ice water in his veins and ready to snap. They mean business. Cassavetes, Dickinson,Ronald Reagan, and Akins all played their roles perfectly. Good racing sequences were thrown in featuring now - classic cars from the late fifties and early sixties. Sadistic and violent, many scenes in this film will catch you off guard. This was a top-notch crime thriller that I would strongly recommend to any film buff. Very rarely does incredible acting, impeccable pacing and editing, and great cinematography combine to make a rich, unforgettable film experience.
