The film also features an outstanding supporting cast that includes George Kennedy, Strother Martin, and early screen appearances by Dennis Hopper and Harry Dean Stanton.
ReviewsUSA Today - Paul Newman had one of his best roles... Much of the fun today comes from eyeing minor players. Newman's fellow rock-splitters include Dennis Hopper and Richard Davalos..., Total Film - This is a fantastic ensemble piece led by a career-high performance from Newman and stylish direction from Rosenberg... 5 out of 5 stars
