Two carefree young travelers make the mistake of their lives when they pick up a mysterious, and slightly psychotic, hitch-hiker who never closes his right eye -- even when he sleeps!
Film Noir...why don't they make these kinds of flicks today. They are so cool.
Anyway, supposedly based upon a true story.
It's a relatively well done foray into film noir, with one major flaw that draws the film down half way through.
If there are two strong guys and another guy with a gun and the guy with the gun tells you he's going to kill you no matter what, but not telling you when, then you really have nothing left to lose.
So at some point don't you try to jump him? They have numerous opportunities. And related to this -- why does the bad guy even want the two of them around? Pleasant conversation? They are a weight to him and represent the possibility of doom for him, so why not put an end to them and go it alone?
If you can put this lack of logic aside, it's a fun film.
