This is a typical Cassavetes/Falk movie disguised as a crime/drama. Of course, anyone who believed this is something like COLLATERAL or a Scorsese gangster movie, is gonna be disappointed. The crime element and plot (Someone is after Cassavetes' character) is only a "MacGuffin" for Peter and John. The whole movie is about these two friends, they constantly argue/fight/talk and of course, there is a lot of improvisation here if i am not mistaken. This is a similar movie to HUSBANDS (1970), HUSBANDS is a superior movie though.

Only for a specific audience. For me, this is a very good movie but it's just my personal taste. Many people won't like it. These are unlikeable characters, i mean, Cassavetes' character seems almost unredeemable and Falk character did something that can't be excused. Furthermore, it seems reasonable to me for a moviegoer to not find anything interesting here. But if you are looking for something different, something real/raw/honest and you haven't heard of Cassavetes, maybe you will like it too.
