When it's over, it's exactly the movie you were expecting it to be. But that's exactly the kind of movie that you want.

Jack Nicholson gives an early simmering performance in this sprawling buddy film. The film is subtly funny in a sweet way and the best moments are when Nicholson, Otis Young, and Randy Quaid hit real moments of camraderie. The ending is a bit abrupt, but inevitable, I suppose.

A 70's road movie of sorts with naval men bringing a court marshaled prisoner to jail. It has some interesting scenes but on a whole it did not interest me enough. The hippie scenes were just annoying but some of the scenes where Nicholson really goes at it are somewhat interesting. Not anything great but okay.
