To be totally honest I did not watch the entire movie. All I did was watch until Roy’s part came up and then I turned it off. I may be a bit premature in saying what a horrible movie this was without watching it, but I doubt it.

About 12 minutes into the film a chase is taking place. Prison guards and guard dogs are racing through the woods chasing an escaped prisoner. You hear the straining breath of the prisoner as he is running for his life and think, “Oh must be Roy!” I actually recognized his breathing. Then you see him, wet, grimy; long hair just hanging in strings around his face. He is racing through the woods trying to escape the guards and the dogs. Dramatically they show him running in slow motion – it is a thing of beauty. Unfortunately at that moment, one of the guards raises his shotgun, aims; and fires right into Roy’s or rather Billy’s back. He cries out in pain, is lifted off his feet from the power of the shot; and lands flat on his back.

In the meantime Marlon Brando (what the hell has happened to Marlon?), who appears to be the warden of the prison and aka in town as the Swede; and his cohort arrive on the scene.

As the guards are holding “Billy” up the Swede, asks in concerned voice, “What have we here?” “Oh he’s been shot, put a tourniquet on that leg. Come on turn him around, turn him around.” We get a good close up of “Billy” who is leery and wondering what the heck is going to happen next, when BAM, the Swede shoots him. He drops to the ground and the Swede shoots him again for good measure. End of Roy / Billy.

If Roy was on the screen for a total of two minutes I would be very surprised. He never says a word but as usual his facial expressions spoke volumes. Exhausted, tortured, mistrustful. Would I suggest buying this video? NOPE. See if you can borrow it from someone.
