Storyline

Nick is desperate, holed up in a cheap hotel, suffering from an ulcer and convinced that a local mobster wants him killed. He calls Mikey, his friend since childhood, but when Mikey arrives, Nick won't let him in: his moods swing. So begins a long night as Mike tries to take care of Nick, calm him down and get him out of town. Their sojourn - on foot and in a city bus - takes them to a bar, a club, toward a movie theater, to the cemetery where Nick's mom is buried, and to Nick's girlfriend's apartment. Tempers fray and the friendship is tested. Meanwhile, a hit man who's getting information from someone is indeed looking for Nick. Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Great original crime story
19 June 2001 | by (Kansas, America) – See all my reviews

This is a great starting point for those interested in the acting career of the great John Cassavetes. Although the film isn't directed by him it still contains a lot of the realistic characters, emotions, and soul-searching dialogue that made him gain such a following. The music's a little off beat, but that doesn't distract from a truly touching and original crime/drama story.
