Straight Time - That Parole Officer 

Emmet Walsh plays such a great character in this movie. You just HATE this son of a b-- . Max is doing everything he can to stay clean and this guy has to bust his chops. This really is one of those great hidden gem Dustin Hoffman movies that a lot of people have never seen.

Fuck. The acting in this scene is incredible.

Never trust a guy in a plaid suit.

Emmet Walsh RIP!

May he rest in peace.

M Emmett Walsh deserved a nomination for this movie

My favorite Dustin Movie

M Emmett Walsh is so good here,his performance in the Cohen brothers 'Blood Simple' is excellent also.

Great background footage of pre 80's LA , before the older side of LA was torn down for office buildings

This was M. Emmet Walsh's supporting actor Oscar performance for which he didn't get nominated, IMO.

If 'Rico hadn't taken the bus to Florida with Joe Buck but gotten well again and toughened up, this is what might have happened to him.

Thats my momma when she was little!!!(:

"Just playin' a game."

AN AMAZING FILM

this film is the best

What a crappy parole officer all over a burnt pack of matches. He had no track Mark's nor his eyes glassy. I liked what Max did to him on the hwy and humiliated him back big time .

0:05 Gosh, those darned automobiles.

Edward Bunker was a great writer. Dog Eat Dog was great.

And look what it's like now

Did he ask if she was white?I read a book a long time ago called The Catalogue of Cool and they named this movie as having the coolest cast of actors.Walsh, Busey, Harry Dean Stanton and Theresa Russell.I can't argue with that!

@JJonahJameson Based on a book by Eddie Bunker called No Beast So Fierce.

Gary Busey character should have asked permission to fix heroin.....and then should have picked up his trash.....corrections is a racket.....??? So the parole Officer dosent care .
