Overall Call:
This artsy little film by Vincent Gallo makes for an enjoyable viewing. It is laced with a distinct dark sense of humor that is present throughout the run of the film. Gallo also utilizes some dated film techniques such as split screen and a boxed image display that capture an early 70's feel. This style coupled with the locations used in Buffalo work well together. Both Gallo and Ricci are excellent together as the films leads. Although the film becomes tedious at times, overall it is fun to watch this tortured soul wander through life.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Gallo and Ricci's acting
+ Funny scenarios played out well by the actors
+ Original script
