Cisco Pike

Interesting little movie set in California in the early seventies. Kris Kristofferson plays Cisco Pike, a musician trying to stop dealing drugs and get back to recording music. Unfortunately corrupt cop Holland (Gene Hackman) has an offer for Cisco. Sell some marijuana for him in two days and he'll look at charges made against Cisco (Holland's busted him twice before). Selling the drugs is harder than it looks as he has some stolen and other buyers are trying to make deals with him. He ends up getting the amount of money he needs but Holland is unstable and starts shooting anything in sight.

It's a movie where almost everyone seems stoned or drugged up, Kristofferson is great as the main character and his songs are good too. Enjoyable performances too from Hackman, Karen Black and Harry Dean Stanton make this a decent watch about the tail end of the sixties drug scene.
