      Fernando F. Croce CinePassion Eagle Pennell's regional snapshot is a full-on dissection of the Reagan era's deluded swagger Nov 30, 2013 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Funny slice-of-life black comedy. Rated: B Sep 21, 2008 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Pennell's second feature is marked by the simplicity and ease with which he brings ordinary blue-collar existence to vivid screen life; Sonny Carl Davis and Louis Perryman, who played similar roles in Pennell's first film, are cast as Cowboy and Claude Rated: B Jan 23, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member The most realistic depiction of a white-trash Houston bar I've ever seen, and I've been in a lot of them. This movie simply amazed me. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I like the low budget, black and white, bar setting, but the story goes nowhere and the movie is basically watching a bunch of drunks bitch about their lives for 90 minutes. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member dude i cant believe this movie is on here. im actually watching it right now, so ask me later.
