As a result of all these commercial drawbacks, the original distributors sent Red Rock West straight to cable and video. Another outfit picked it up, however, and it is belatedly making its way into a few theaters. It's well worth tracking down, wherever you can find it. For it has the kind of tension and energy -- maybe even a touch of delirium -- that is only a memory in most of today's big studio movies. You just know that no one connected with Red Rock West owns a suit or a tie or knows how to write a self-protective memo.
