It's just uninspired, a lazy copy of Bonnie and Clyde. But Boxcar is much more a Roger Corman picture, its producer, than a Scorsese's.

Not an auspicious debut for Scorsese, but it does have its moments. It deals honestly with unions and issues of class, and Hershey and Carradine both give good performances. A guilty confession: I even like the crucifixion scene. But then again, like Marty, I was raised Catholic.

It gets off to a rough start, but the excellent characters and class/race commentary hold your interest as much as the orgies of violence and bare boobs. A fascinating fusion of Corman interests (genuine sympathy toward the renegade and the woman, boobs) and Scorsese obsessions (Christian iconography, breakneck pacing).

This is an early lesser work of Martin Scorsese's. It is better than your average B movie. It starts slow but gets better as the movie moves along. Both Barbara Hershey and David Carradine are good in in this movie.

Hershey, radiant and ferociously free, plays the title role, an instinctual rule-breaker who gets pulled into all manner of social revolt. There's an appealing flintiness to the movie and glimpses of Scorsese's distinctive filmmaking personality here and there, but nothing that really indicates there's a burgeoning genius at work. That particular trumpet blast was still a year away. It's at least loose and spirited enough to suit its subject.

What was Marty thinking? If his intentions was to make a sleazy exploitation flick he succeeded plenty. The premise isn't bad - young girl becomes an orphan, hooks up with union activist and gets in troubles. But the way the story is handled is just terrible. Scorsese tries a few things with camera, but even that doesn't work. He did much better films even in his university years.

Not that splendid Scorsese, Hershey and Carridane early work. Scorcese strips Hershey butt naked, and puts her to run in the end of the movie a very difficult railroad side.

Heavily mannered and stylised, this is perhaps better than it's given credit for. There's lots going on with class, race and gender issues and an excellent performance is drawn out of Barbara Hershey. Unfortunately it doesn't quite all seem to fit together as it might.

Certainly not Scorsese's best film to date but I did enjoy it towards the end. The film is incredibly similar to Bonnie Clyde, but it isn't as good as that. I felt some of the performances in this film were lacking in euthasiam and emotion. Barbara Hersehy was pretty good and gave a good performances a runaway Bertha. David Carridine wasn't as good as let's say, his recent performance in Kill Bill. There are certainly early evidence os the usual Scorsese trademarks. Ganster/crime, Scorses
