A rather strange story of friends that behave seemingly indifferently to the murder of a young girl. Their apathy, while an unexpected response for sure, does echo some nihilistic sentiments of the generation. This seemed almost more like a comedy than a drama at times. The tone felt somewhat flat if they were attempting to create an unsettling feeling for the viewer. The cinematography did not successfully create a dark and bleak tone.
Ultimately, its worth a watch for an interesting cast, especially Crispin Glover in full form, and Dennis Hopper who was accompanied by his inflatable mistress most of the time. It is an interesting film of the decade (80's) and an intriguing look at the general sense of malaise kids born in the early-mid 60's had.
