This movie is one of those cases when you expect a masterpiece but eventually, it doesn’t really blow you away. I mean, I kept hearing some very good things about this flick so I had some very high expectations.

"10.2. Blu-ray Ihastuttavan vapaakulkuinen ja aidon samastuttava kuvaus miehisestä ja yllättävästäkin ystävyydestä, ikäeroista ja asemista huolimatta. Myös lopulta tunteettomasta vastuunkannosta, leipiintyneenä ammattilaisena. Jack Nicholsonin parhaita rooleja."

"First viewing - June 12th HBO Max Finally got this blind spot crossed off my list. The cast is excellent & I appreciated the story about 3 guys asserting their individuality & humanity in the face of the system they're indebted to. Ashby takes a laid-back, hangout style as we follow them on their journey & lets us enjoy it on the surface while saying so much more beneath. Only issue I had was some of the musical choices didn't work so well, but aside from that it's pretty great."
