As far as B-movies go, this one was above par. "Deaners" will surely get a kick out of seeing Greico donned in full Rebel regalia, right down to his white tee, jeans & Red windbreaker jacket. There's even a scene where Greico goes to the police station to report a death at one of the drag-racings gone wrong. Sound familiar? The Rebel coincidences keep on coming: say hello to a Sal Mineo type who looks up to Greico's character! eh And the son who longs to have his father's approval. The camera-work when Greico is in the car preparing to drag, is also straight out of Rebel. While most of this film takes place in the dark, it still managed to keep my interest.
