Entertaining mixture of mystery, romance, and thriller elements. Jeff Bridges plays the part of the heroic all-American dope alright. But he’s outclassed by Rachel Ward who is an alluring beauty while James Woods is great for a sleazy villain. A nice touch was casting film noir legends Richard Widmark and Jane Greer in supporting roles. The car race is exciting; the scenery is breathtaking; the mystery is engaging; and the love story is convincing. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.

Almost every character in this is unlikeable. Crooked, cheating, lying, manipulating, greedy people. Throw in confusing love, sex, and allegiance shifting. Some good location photography and twisty plot helps to stay the distance.
