Britain's Samantha Morton, Oscar-nominated in Sweet and Lowdown, widens her repertoire to play an American heroin addict in this long and sometimes interesting voyage of almost accidental self-discovery, a rough-edged road movie that could almost have been made at the time of the early Seventies drug culture it depicts. Turned on to dope by a girl (Morton) to whom he takes a fancy, FH (Billy Crudup) drifts in and out of their relationship (and a narcotic haze) along the back roads of the American Midwest. Sex and violence figure prominently in his picaresque adventures, which, although tinged with a perpetual sense of doom, still have occasional oddly amusing moments. Depending on your humour, you may enjoy the man who walks into hospital with a huge knife stuck through his eye. Despite some tedium, this is not unrewarding, with a delightful cameo from Dennis Hopper.
