Best Alan parker film. two great players play as two great friends in this movie about friendship. a must see movie for anyone who like Alan parker(Midnight express) films. i don't understand why most of the people give this movie 8 i gave it 10. a most beautiful extraordinary film. most recommended to people who liked Midnight express or the wall. a masterpiece with directing of Alan parker and starring by Matthew Modine and Nicolas Cage. one of the two stars first films. a great 80's movie. one of three masterpieces of Alan parker (midnight express, Birdy and the wall). this is really pity that this amazing movie gets only 7.2 when it should be with the top 250.
