Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

A Disappointing Continuation

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

They don't make em like this anymore. Not sure if they ever did. But Schatzberg, Pacino, and Hackman bring everything that have to the table, and it's a feast.

Max, an ex-con drifter with a penchant for brawling is amused by Lion, a homeless ex-sailor, and they partner up as they head east together. Scarecrow is one of those films that was overlooked by both critics and audiences back in the 70's and stars Gene Hackman and Al Pacino as 2 men who go on a trip and have a dream to open a Car Wash together of course both men are excellent and they both have 2 amazing scenes where they shine first Hackman's sort of "striptease" and Pacino's speech with the kids are the best moments from the film there's also a pretty shocking sequence in the Jail with Pacino. The film of course does have it's flaws for example it does drag sometimes like the scenes in the house with the girls and the ending cuts a bit fast but the 2 men are incredible and they have amazing chemistry together and unfortunately the movie was highly overlooked by everyone and it's definitely on Pacino's best alongside The Godfather Trilogy, Serpico, Scarface, Carlito's Way and Heat and the same goes for some of Hackman's most iconic films such as Superman, Superman II, Behind Enemy Lines and Mississippi Burning. (8/10)

This is an interesting character study of two drifters who meet up at the beginning of the film and then travel across the American countryside in search of adventure. Gene Hackman and Al Pacino give truly standout performances as the leading characters. It takes actors and not stars to give the drifter characters some depth. This is no glamorous kind of film either, no punches are pulled with regards to some of the dangers that Hackman and Pacino encounter as they thumb their way from one small town to another.A film that deserves more recognition.

Gene Hackman and Al Pacino play two drifters(Max & Francis) who befriend each other, and decide to form a business partnership in Pittsburgh, where they hope to open a car wash. Film details their adventures along the way.Both actors are very good as usual, and being filmed on real road locations helps, but film, which feels very inspired by the far superior "Midnight Cowboy" never amounts to much, feels like an extended sketch study stretched to feature length. Hackman(Max) is a hot-tempered brawler, which gets them in frequent trouble, while Pacino(Francis) is a simple man who just wants to see his son again, but fate has other ideas. The ending is disappointing because it just stops, without any real emotional resolution. Nice try, but misses.
