One of the most original, unpredictable buddy movies in cinematic history, this hauntingly powerful, exhilarating thriller stars four-time Oscar nominee Jeff Bridges and John Heard as two friends locked in a pulse-pounding battle for their lives.

Suspected of murdering a teenage girl, Richard Bone, a laidback Santa Barbara boat salesman and gigolo, turns to his best friend, Alex Cutter, a disabled Vietnam veteran, for help in finding the real killer. But Bone gets more than he bargained for when Cutter pushes the envelope and, instead of contacting the police, tries to blackmail their suspect ... and their suspect, instead of giving in, violently turns the tables on them! Trapped between the killer and the cops, Cutter and Bone begin a cunning fame of cat-and-mouse that ignites into a full-blown war - a nightmare vision that leaves you bewildered, yet moved!
