    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Before production started on this film, Ivan Passer and producer Paul R. Gurian went to Jeff Bridges' house to ask him if he would agree to play Bone. After both entered Bridges' property, the actor's dog, a big German shepherd, attacked Gurian, biting him on the jaw. Gurian nearly died. Bridges later confessed that, after this incident, he had no choice but to accept the role in order to avoid being sued for several million dollars.

    Brilliant script and direction
    This movie is beautifully shot with a great score that sounds unlike any other score I've ever heard. Then you have a great performance from John Heard and a great screenplay that obviously had a tremendous novel behind it.

    If you like those gritty late 70s early 80s California noir movies like Straight Time, Who'll Stop The Rain and Chinatown, this is as good as any of those. I have just watched it and I don't think I will forget it anytime soon. It's packed with memorable moments and fully-developed characters.

    They don't make movies like this anymore. It makes me wonder what Jeff Bridges thinks about on the set of Iron Man 2 - I've never been a huge fan but the guy did a string of great dramas in the 80s like Fabulous Baker Boys, American Heart and this. He must be thinking "what happened to all those good scripts that used to be knocking around??"
