I had heard about this movie only for the star studded cast and a month ago I finally had the chance of watching it. It lived up to my expectations.
John (James LeGros) is an unemployed young man that lives as a flounderer on the beaches of Los Angeles. He lives alone and from time to time he imagines encounters with TV personalities, dead relatives, and the unemployment office. The film is some sort of social commentary when John loses hope and searches for his meaning in life while in a tunnel of self-destruction. In the end he is rescued by an old friend, and then decides to leave Los Angeles and start a new life.
Despite it's an obscure movie it has a nice plot and a star studded cast even tho in brief roles: John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Billy Bob Thornton, Ethan Hawke and Viggo Mortensen are all good despite I think that if they had more screen time it would have been better. Overall, an obscure movie that turned out to be a nice viewing experience.
