Entertainment Reviews:
Hellman embraces, with visual nuance, a world of back roads and forests, grim motels and ramshackle arenas, and he approaches the intricacies of the subculture ... with a cool Hemingwayesque moralism.

Rating: B+ --
This is a blood and guts art film with unforgettable intensity and stark scenes that few films have managed to capture with such fervor.

A great film with a masterful silent performance by Warren Oates.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Warren Oates is Frank Mansfield, a down on his luck competitor in the sordid world of cockfighting. Broke, and ignoring his fiance's demand that he settle down to a normal life, he's vowed to never speak again until he wins the coveted Cockfighter of the Year medal. With a cast that includes Harry Dean Stanton and Steve Railsback, a screenplay by noir novelist Charles Willeford (Miami Blues) and cinematography by Oscar winner Nestor Almendros, director Monte Hellman (Two-Lane Blacktop) creates the sort of southern-fried action flick that Hollywood doesn't dare make any more!
