Ronald Bass's clever script never apologizes for Catharine, never explains her. It knows, as Alex does, that "nobody knows why anybody does anything." And Rafelson, in his snazziest stint since Five Easy Pieces (1970), locates meaning in each thrill and frill. He gives Supporting Players Nicol Williamson and James Hong juicy vignettes.

Throughout the night, roving gangs from both sides barricaded downtown streets, looting shops and burning debris. Several times they were scattered by sniper fire that erupted from nearby buildings. The toll in one night of rioting: one dead, 41 wounded...
