How can you not keep watching a movie where the basketball coach played by Bruce Dern utters such a great line.
Why are the voices of the BLM activists, errrrr, Vietnam protestors heavily echoed? They've taken over a basketball game at the University of Oregon, not the New Orleans Superdome.
William Tepper looks like he should be reading from the Torah, not playing college basketball. He certainly can't act. Neither can Karen Black. Come to think of it, nobody in this movie can act.
This script probably seemed cutting edge when Mr. Dullsville himself, Terrence Malick, helped pen it. But it's hopelessly dated even by 1971 standards, much less 2023. The incompetent direction - allegedly by Jack Nicholson - gives off a real Canadian Film Board vibe. At times I thought I was watching an actual documentary from 1971 produced by the CBC
I'd say the only memorable thing about the whole sorry affair is the gratuitous male nudity. Which leads me to believe that Dern's basketball coach might have had reason to worry when he was yelling at his players.
