This film was made long before "alpha male" and "beta male" became buzz phrases. This came out a decade before "In the Company of Men." Still, it's an interesting look at the dynamic between two men. Men's studies scholars have said that men don't just compare themselves to women, but to other men as well. Here, the dominant male brags of "getting the girl" but the weaker male rules the day. It's not a religious work, but here "the meek shall inherit the earth." It's a road trip picture; some would say it's a buddy film. This may bore some, but I found it interesting. There is male nudity here. This is not a film for the underaged. Still, this was an intriguing look at how American men saw themselves and other men in the late 1980s.

this movie, not a vry famous one, deserves to be known by a large public. Cassavetes would have liked it.
