    I had never heard of this one which looks like the kind of film all my friends loved when we were teens (I was never into the 70s car fever). Looks interesting. Reminds me of 'Vanishing Point'.

    This is hardly underrated or forgotten: it spawned sequels and there is a remake being planned.

    Very reminiscent of John Wayne's The Cowboys (1972) "...the kid from Summer of 42..." now THAT was a freaking good drama!

    based on a total of 29 reviews mainly from 'critics' from websites who consider George Romero a god who can do no wrong. When this movie came out in 1977 it was universally trashed and made it into the top ten worst of the year list. I watched it on vhs in the 80s and couldn't believe how amateurish it look and felt. 3/10

    Not really a 'forgotten' classic though.
    It's fairly well known.

    The Groundstar Conspiracy

    George Peppard as a C.I.A. operative chasing an escaped terrorist with a nice twist at the end. The kind of 70s film that inspired 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.

    Yeah, I didnt like that movie much (admittedly I watched it years and years ago) - it wasnt great, just nothing special regardless of the twist.
