Best Quote: Life is hard, it is even harder when your stupid.Robert Mitchum shines an aging small time Boston hood on his way to Jail. He brings his hang-dog sleepiness and world-weariness to the lead role. The supporting acting (Peter Boyle especially), and direction are very good. Not an action flick, but well paced at 102 minutes. Shot entirely in Boston and has a realistic feel
Summary: A well-done little film about small-time crooks - losers. The title is ironic, Eddie hasn't any friends. One of Mitchum’s best. Rating ***
I saw this @ the theater when I was in college and liked it. Your post inspires me to watch again.
