Even being able to understand this as a metaphor for biblical stories DOESN'T help from making it "ONE OF THE WORST WASTE'S OF FILM I'VE EVER WITNESSED"!!!! NO STAR'S* for this piece of garbage!! IT IT WERE LEGALY FEASIBLE, I'd seek out and sue for lost time on this "mindlessly wandering excuse for a STORY"! (????) I'll use a somewhat current reference in the movie "Under the Skin", AS TO HOW BAD IT IS"! (not as a plot reference, BUT JUST PLAIN BAD MOVIE). Add to that, the acting (WHAT A JOKE), AND production values (YES, I KNOW IT WAS SHOT ON A SHOESTRING BUDGET!) IT'S JUST PLAIN BAD!! MAYBE trying to capitalize "at the time", on something like "Jesus Christ Superstar"???? It's most probably a "super embarrassment for the one's whom were conned into spouting this GIBBERISH"! WATCH AT YOUR OWN RISK"!!!! * (had to add ONE star to get my review posted) :(

Great performances by Eric Stoltz & Mary Stuart Masterson. Great 80's soundtrack! Another great John Hughes screenplay! I Liked it enough to buy it, so I can watch it again & again. If you grew up in the 80's you'll love it too.

Awesome movie "for it's time"! Along with Winning & LeMans which came out latter, some of the best "race car" movies out of Hollywood. James Gardner is in top forum, with a great supporting cast, & John Frankenheimer"s direction is superb! Don't know why it didn't win more oscars, other than Hollywood has never really rewarded movies about racing much.
