Love this film. Too bad it seems to have been totally swept under the radar for anyone under the age of 30.

Someone here on CHUD was recently talking about Tony Scott as a director ripe for rediscovery as an auteur, but for my money Hill is the prime candidate. This movie is a brilliant little package of tension, with perfect b-movie casting. This movie made me re-evaluate Keith Carradine, who I'd always thought had ridden into Hollywood on his family name. Not so, obviously. Great final sequence, great soundtrack (Cooder is a genius), and I love the fact that, unlike many films of this type, these guys arguably deserved everything that happens to them.

I've always felt they should have stuck a thing on the credits saying "Yeah, animals WERE harmed in the making of this movie."
