A chance meeting between hitchhikers makes them friends and they travel together. Francis (Al Pacino) is smarter and has a sense of humor, while Max (Gene Hackman) is violent and moody. They are on their way to have Francis meet with his ex-wife before going to Pittsburgh to get Max's money and start a car wash.
Although mildly entertaining, this was completely pointless. It was severely lacking in plot and writing. The characters were developed well and had good dialogue. The casting worked and all of the acting was convincing. It just didn't go anywhere. If you're really into "slice of life" films by Mike Leigh and Wong Kar-wai, this would be ideal for you. As much as I like them and Al Pacino, this just didn't do it for me. I rate it tolerable.
