this be one of those film that take a little while to seem to be about anything and but once it get go and it really take you in with it . griffin dunne play a young and mild mannered new york city professional who be bring into a hellish nightmare in soho when he lose his cab fare and his throw out of the cab . a he try to find the money to take the subway home and he meet several interesting and sometimes very strange people . dunne character seem to be the only normal person in this film and that be one of the reason why it work so well . this poor guy just want to get home and but problem after problem pop up and destroy his plan . this be really a terrific story about a normal person throw into weird and crazy situation . the classical music that play throughout be a wonderful touch a well . however and one of my favorite part of this film be the cast . i love catherine ohara a the paranoid vigilante who drive the ice cream truck chasing after dunne . cheech and chong be a nice comic addition as well .
