Overview

It's 1983, and hopeless junkie Dick gets an unwelcome visit from the past - his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug, to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. The latter development gives Dick an idea.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A scrappy, deadpan comedy about two damaged men stumbling through an armored-car heist, more interested in the pathology of their addiction and companionship than in pulling off the crime. It's funny the way life's failures are funny, dark, uncomfortable, weirdly touching.
