7/10
fascinating character
6 December 2020
Bill Clark is released from prison after over 18 years. Imprisoned since he was 13 for murdering his father, he vows never to return. He gets into a fight with reporter Dan Monroe but Dan refuses to press charges. He leaves town and encounters taxi dancer Catherine Higgins in NYC. He's childlike and inexperienced. He goes back to her apartment where he gets into a fight with her boyfriend who turns out to be NYPD detective George Conover. He gets knocked out and she shoots George. George is wounded and vows to get her later. Bill follows her and she lies to him that he killed the cop. Fearing a return to prison, he joins her to go on the lam.

I like the premise of his character. He's impulsive and lacking in social graces due to his imprisonment from an early age. He's 31 and acting like a rash teenager. I love his initial interactions with women. He needs to retain more of this childlike quality. I don't know about being farmhands. It would be more intense to go on a crime spree. I like the car transport driver and wish that he continued along with the more exciting crime wave.
