Amazed this was released in 1993. It felt every bit like a gritty film from the 70s.
Definitely one of Danny Glover's best performances. Matt Dillon is strong too and they share a really great chemistry. The bond and friendship that develops between the two men is the high point.
I felt it captured homelessness accurately. It made me feel like I was on the streets with them. Authentic would be a great way to describe it.
The soundtrack was often abrupt and out of place and dates the film terribly. The film quality of what I watched was poor at times too, though this didn't really detract from my enjoyment of it.
While I knew this film wouldn't be all sunshine and rainbows, I also didn't expect it to be woefully depressing and basically void of all hope by the end. Left me feeling a bit flat and the latter half definitely gets a bit caught up in its own misery.
Despite the ending and other things, it's still a strong film with worthy performances - just not one I'll revisit.
