Good Bridges performance
Very good acting performance by Jeff Bridges. He hit just the right note as the naive, in-over-his-head, but determined and aggressive stock car driver, Junior Jackson.His performance as a young country kid, trying to break into the big time, with small-time resources, is memorable.
Valerie Perrine is equally good as Marge, the man-starved woman who takes a liking to Junior. She senses he’s someone who may be on the way up, while her current beau, successful driver Kyle Kingman, is probably on the way down. To hedge her bets, she makes sure to warm both their beds, to ensure she will be with the guy in the winners circle.
The movie looks, feels and sounds woefully dated, and the production and direction leave something to be desired. There are decent stars in this movie, but it looks like it was made on a shoe-string budget.
Bridges, Perrine, William Smith (as Kingman) and Ed Lauter (as Burton Colt, Junior’s car owner) make this work with excellent performances.
A simply made movie, with outstanding characters.
