As stated in some previous reviews this is one that hasn't been released on DVD or Blu Ray to date. I watched it on a 1983 Thorn EMI VHS cassette which I found in a charity shop. Richard Beymer's advertising exec Evan Bley becomes a murder suspect when he hits the road after his ex is found dead in her apartment (which is in Philapelphia, not New York as this site states). He hooks up with sexy blonde stripper Lois (Nina Axelrood) and her "friend" John (Brent Carver). This pairs relationship is kept ambiguous.Is John her lover, pimp or ex? He certainly harbors something dark in his feelings for her. My hunch is that they might be brother and sister but it's really open to interpretation. There's a great sleazy scene where Nina puts on a lesbian show with a buxom floozy John picks up in a bar. This turns out to be part of Johns mind games with Nina and Evan. During this time Michael Ironside's detective is on Evans trail and he has his own agenda for tracking him down. It all comes to a head in the Grand Canyon. It does keep you guessing but the astute viewer will have worked out the identity of the murderer halfway through. Well worth a look if you get the chance.
