A movie about cheap whiskey and black coffee, all-night drunks and lost jobs, and the bad times you can have with good-time girls. It tells the story of a pimp, an unemployed disc jockey and a bewildered Italian tourist and how they escape from jail and wind up slogging through the Louisiana bayous looking for a decent place to have breakfast (…) It doesn’t have the inspired perfection of “Stranger Than Paradise,” in which every shot seemed inevitable. But it’s a good movie. — Roger Ebert
