Good mindless sleaze features Dressler as the proprietor of a robbery and prostitution ring that operates out of a southwestern truck stop. Martino is a mafioso who wants in on the business and starts a bloody war over it. Surprisingly, this film isn't as bad as it sounds. Though at points
the direction is sloppy, other passages show some real craftsmanship. Dressler gives one of the film's better performances, a good cynical outing that shines above some of the other cartoonlike characters that populate the story. There's plenty of action, as expected with this sort of film, with
truck chases and a bloody, climactic gun battle.
