Yes life like it's led by this class of people in USA, very well told in images and dialogues and benefiting from the excellent acting of those two movie giants called Gene Hackman and Al Pacino on the main roles. Two half-tramps meet occasionally on a road where they were both hitch-hiking and between them a strange friendship develops itself along good and bad moments. The oldest is just out of jail and fancies opening a car washing shop in Pittsburgh for which he wants the youngest one to become his partner. On their way to Pittsburgh several lively things happen to them in a very realistic way. There is place in this story for comedy an laughter as for drama and tragedy. It shows also that sentiments and feelings can be present in every human soul despite the apparent toughness of their behaviour and the misery of their lives. The youngest of these too is also traveling to see his child whose mother he left some years before while she was pregnant, despite the fact that he doesn't even know if it's a boy or a girl. A piece of life indeed.
