Big cast, big disappointment. Jack Nicholson is a midwest radio DJ who endlessly reminisces on air about growing up with brother Bruce Dern in Atlantic City, rather than playing records. When he returns for a visit, he finds Dern is working for a crime syndicate and has a plan to embezzle their money to buy an island off the coast of Hawaii. Nicholson doesn't think this is a smart idea. After the success of director Bob Rafelson's Five Easy Pieces, this seems somewhat dreary, not least because of the repetitious dialogue and the deliberate confusion of fantasy and reality. But for all its faults, the film is slightly redeemed in that some of the scenes will linger on in your memory, and there's amiable support from Ellen Burstyn and Scatman Crothers too.
