Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

huntermcintyre Honestly I did not enjoy this film very much. Its plot is boring to a fault and the acting is just boring and doesn't display much effort. The film itself is directed well enough with only a few weak shots but its just killed by the poor acting. I would not suggest watching this film and I don't enjoy it at all.

k-ellinger This movie is all about a man named Robert venturing out on his own and becoming an independent person. He defies what his parents want him to do and becomes a successful person. Once he discovers that his father is very sick, he decides to go back to his family with his girlfriend and try to fix the relationship that he had with them. They quickly discover that it isn't as easy as they thought it would be. He must deal with his struggles from his past while focusing on the current situation that is going on. The audience feels nothing but hope and optimism for him that he'll be able to fix things with his family and help his father in any way that he can.

nbbaiyuchen An effective, emotionally ravaging story concerning a drifter who runs away from his problems and picks up every odd job he can find. Nicholson has that magnetic quality that few actors possess so well, and his strong, utterly superb performance drives this film all the way through. Although it does bog down from time to time, director Bob Rafelson displays his mastery of the art of subtlety, using this for most of the film, before nailing his most important scenes with sudden outbursts from his characters that catch you off guard. Nicholson's character is definitely flawed, and he's a time-bomb ready to explode at any moment, but his mysterious character always keeps you glued to your seat, and the end of the film is just perfect beyond words.

normstobert For the life of me I can't understand what all the raving is about this movie. "One of the greatest movies ever made", "Excellent story". BLAH! The movie started out interesting but then became mired in meaningless conversations. I thought that Jack Nicholson was poorly chosen for this role. His usual character is strong and bold, in this movie he is confused and wandering and in my opinion he does not play it well. Ralph Waite is wasted as a dithering, unassuming husband that acts as if he must have his wife's approval for seemingly everything. All in all a real mish-mash of a movie that just winds to a very unsatisfying ending. Don't waste your time with this one.
