Aldo G I first screened this film a few years ago and thought it was dull. A second screening tells me I was wrong. I found the two lost souls - Hackman & Pacino - the second time around and I felt their pain. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Simon T This is Gene Hackman's movie. While Al Pacino showboats and tries to channel Dustin Hoffman's Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy, Hackman just gets on with it, playing a solitary and angry drifter with delusions about the golden future he envisages running a Pittsburgh carwash. There are echoes of Pinter and Beckett in the aimless doodling these two nobodies do as they cross America and trash their futures. Luminously photographed by Vilmos Szigmond. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Audience Member Gene Hackman and Al Pacino Max is an ex-con who was sentenced for almost beating a man to death Francis is an ex-seaman Both share an unlikely array of adventures together traveling across the country They wish to start a car wash business together in Pittsburg but the trek will have its ups and downs They get in bar fights, meet lovely ladies, end up in jail The film is overly long and not enough of heavy dramatics give it leeway These two stars are fine actors but the material is very thin and the ending is quite saddening Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/12/24 Full Review Josh G A long winded character piece that is superbly acted and well shot but never goes anywhere but that's the point I guess. Gene Hackman And Al Pacino are incredible and the first scene alone is the best no explanation just observing.
