Storyline

After a failed suicide attempt leaves him partially crippled, Roary begins spending a lot of time at a neighborhood bar full of interesting misfits.

Will Jerry forget his friends? What about his junkie hooker girlfriend and her pimp?—Peter L. Blaskowski



Short Review

Donner always floats on the surface, willing to let the superficial emotional appeal of his characters carry the movie. No attempt is made to explore the inner trauma of losing your hands or the social stigma attached to the physically disadvantaged.
