An extremely downbeat, character-driven drama about two losers rather than strictly a crime film that reunites Jack Nicholson with director Bob Rafelson and teams him with Michael Caine.
It's quite witty in places (as when Caine says of his appalling dye job, "I don't have an ego. Just so long as I don't match my mugshots"); and Judy Davis is a vivid presence as usual as Nicholson's drunken wreck of a wife.
