This movie was all over the place, so I could not find a one scene that
represented it better than any other
Personally, I didn't dislike the film but I didn't really like it either. I felt like the movie was mostly just me sitting there. I went with my family, and I'm the youngest. I heard a lot of comments that they liked it because it was realistically violent and looked truly 1970s. However the movie took a long to get to the conclusion, which was pretty good. I would recommend the movie to someone who is really into the 70s, but no one else. There is a lot of boring grown up drama and long character development.
This clip is some of the rare violence
