Another film directed by the awesome gus van sant. In 1971 portland. Matt dillon, kelly lynch. Bob and his crew knock over the local pharmacies for pills. We can tell when bob is tripping... trees and animals go flying across the screen. They keep making sloppy mistakes, as they try to stay one step ahead of the cops. It doesn't help that bob is superstitious, and they keep on jinxing themselves with bad luck. Or maybe its just because they make really bad decisions. He wants to get into a rehab program, but he's also smart enough to know the challenges he is facing. This one is much more finished and professional than mala noche, an earlier film by gvs. Pretty good stuff. Based on the story by james fogle.
