probowl43 4 @probowl43 Sep 9, 2026 No amount of Robert Redford charisma (which there isn't much of it here to begin with) can save whatever this film was supposed to be. Scattershot and nonsensical direction, stale and/or cringe inducing dialogue and run of the mill basic performances make up the 1hr 38 runtime. This really felt like they came up with the whole idea in a half hour board meeting, scammed an over 2 million dollar budget, and pumped out this mess. The title song was more enjoyable and carried more weight than the execution from both leads. Apart from Johnny Cash's musical delivery, a couple smartass comments here and there, and a few decent shots of motorcycle racing...there's nothing here to justify watching this the whole way through only to see an ending with an even bigger dud than every other minute of watch time. A flat and abrupt end, nothing fleshed out but then again 'Little Fauss and Big Halsy' did that exactly that the entire length of the film. Fitting. See more Blu B @RT43513976 Jul 31, 2025 The whole thing is a vibe type of road movie that's not about the destination necessarily but the journey there. Kind of like The Straight Story in a sense. It also oozes New Hollywood with the type of unconventional duo it stars and the gritty film and on location settings. That being said, even the best vibing type of films have a bit more structure than this and the direction isn't consistent enough to make something like this work as evenly throughout as it needs to be to be good throughout. The characters are challenging for different reasons. Halsy has charisma and sex appeal but he's a muscle headed jerk. And Fauss is more likeable of the two but he can be so wooden a times and just lacking any sort of prescene. They are interesting when they are together though and the vibes it gives off a times are unique and it does keep you wondering where it's going. But honestly, I'm not even sure this knew where it was going. It ends after some semblance of an arc for both of them but I'm not sure what the point was in the grand scheme. Odd Couple type movies from this time like Bonnie & Clyde, Harold & Maude, Butch Cassidy & Sundance, all have more goals to them and more likeable characters despite having the same level of flaws these two have. I think that's the biggest issue here for better or worse. The soundtrack with Cash is good but I wish it was used a bit more. The editing is alright enough but again it can feel like stuff just happens at times, and even when it doesn't it is very clunky or incomplete in inking everything together. Everything else though is half decent for the reasons meantioned above. Pollard & Redford have a weird kind of chemistry. It's very odd...like the nerd in school teaming up with the football team QB. I don't really know how else to describe it. And the direction at times is good but other times it just dissappears as well. The racing feels like almost an afterthought here despite there being plenty of it. It just feels like the racing isn't set up well but it's cool watching them actually do it. But again it doesn't really tie into much in the grand scheme either so it's not really for racing fans either. I think if your either a die hard fan of any actors in this or if you want a really offbeat sort of buddy road movie New Hollywood style maybe give this a shot. This isn't for everyone though.

Harmless and nothing happen. The ending is sketchy. See more Aug 2, 2022 For those who remembers TNT's movies for guys, this movie fits the bill. The main theme is how to avoid friends who take advantage of others and how others should not be guillible to believe these friends. Sometimes one have to take a stand to avoid people taking advantage of one's good nature.
