      Audience Member Director Larry Clark makes a Bonnie & Clyde for the 1990s James Woods, Melanie Griffith, Vincent Kartheiser, and Natasha Gregson Wagner Bobbie is a druggie with his girlfriend Rosie during the 1970s He ends up killing a security guard and his mentor Mel, a local crook showing him the ropes to survive Mel and his girlfriend Sid decide to take both of them in and go on a road trip being the best kind of criminals they can be It's kinda hard to be on board with these characters as they are pretty much criminals who rob, kill and get hooked on drugs A lot of this subject matter is just downright cruel Yet it can still serve as a mortality tale about the down and dirty Woods and Griffith are the bright spots in this, if only the movie had focused more on them Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/30/23 Full Review Rick W James Woods is great and the story is well done. I'm not a big fan of either of the kid actors but it's a good crime/road/drug movie. If you like things like natural born killers, drugstore cowboy or Alpadog you'll like it Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/26/23 Full Review Steve D The cast get the most out of a so so script. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Usually not a Woods or Griffith fan but this movie was surprisingly compelling, accurate to the life of a junkie (with obvious needed accentuations), and probably the most realistic and emotion death AND overdose scene I've ever seen. Not actually a 5 star movie, but it's lux in my heart Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review scott m Movie about a couple of young small time thieves who hook up with two older, much more experienced thieves. The acting is just superb. James Woods plays the part of the sleazy leader perfectly. The death scene is heartbreaking. One of my favorite movies because I'm a sucker for these types of movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Sincere performances about social relationships make this movie. It is fairly good as a drug flick too. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Tanner Tafelski Village Voice Another Day in Paradise, Clark's sophomore effort, represents the closest he's ever gotten to making a mainstream film. The movie is Clark's vision of the outlaw lifestyle...
