The film has a rhythm to it that makes it more than watchable--we instantly care about these loveable losers and begin rooting for them to make some wise decisions and break the cycle of violence. Earthy humour and energetic masculinity fill the screen (even Lynch's character isn't terribly feminine), and the cast captures the vibe nicely. Hatosy and Caan are excellent, with great chemistry between them and a strong sense of impending do-or-die decision-making. Goldblum is the strongest character, simply because the actor makes him so well-rounded--concerned and absolutely hilarious, relaxed and nervous at the same time. It does get a bit corny when Christian and his nutty girlfriend (Blair) are on the scene--their scenes are too-broad comically, and we can tell that when they intersect with the main plotline it won't be pretty. As a story about two young men on the brink of a big change, this is a fascinating portrait. It's a little rough around the edges here and there, but it's well worth a look.
