Wes Anderson's first feature film is a 90's indie in the worst sense, a rambling unfunny mess with half an idea, which thinks far too much of its self. Staring James Caan and three Wilson brothers it's the story of three friends who embark on a half baked crime spree in rural Texas. There is no budget for what would become Anderson's signiture highly stylized style, though supposedly the film cost $5 million I simply don't see how that is possible, that money is not on screen.
There was probably something of a novel charm to this when it first came out but in hindsight it's dull and overly self involved. It's compitently made, has a nicley chill vive and there are some flickers of promise here, ceritanly Owen is commited to the thing, but mostly I did not like this. I get falling for Inez but there is little else in this film that clicks. **
