Plot Summary
Oscar-winning superstars Gene Hackman ("Unforgiven," "The Firm") and Al Pacino ("Carlito's Way," "Scent of a Woman") star as two born losers -- one a gruff ex-con who dreams of owning his own carwash and the other, a clowning, likable ex-seaman. They team up on a cross-country hitchhiking trip and develop a unique bond of communication that teaches them both something about life, loving and caring.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: I assume that Schatzberg and White wanted somehow to ennoble Max and Lionel, but they sentimentalize them.
Fresh: There are fine moments, as there would have to be with Hackman and Pacino.
Fresh: Jerry Schatzberg's film embraces sprawl of both the narrative and geographical variety with freewheeling abandon.
Fresh: Hollywood movies have rarely spoken such tough and tender truths.
Customer Reviews
scarecrow
A little known film from Gene and Al. A better film then it gets credit for and possibly Gene's Best Performace.... at least for this Hackman fan.
