Amazon.com:
One of the most subtle and deeply felt--if ultimately downbeat--collaborations between Jack Nicholson and director Bob Rafelson, this film was Rafelson's follow-up to Five Easy Pieces. Nicholson plays a disc jockey whose withdrawn personality translates to radio mystery. But he's out of his depth when he goes home to Atlantic City at the invitation of ne'er-do-well brother Bruce Dern. Dern has a big-money scam that's also high risk, particularly to himself if the black-crime syndicate he's ripping off ever gets wind of it. But Nicholson gets swept up in the blarney of his charismatic older brother, even as he suffers gnawing doubts about the way Big Bro treats his lady friends (including Ellen Burstyn). Low-key but evocative, this is the kind of movie that has you remembering images and moments and feeling for Nicholson's dilemma, long after you've seen it. --Marshall Fine



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Early '70s pretentious slop for the most part
Nicholson is a depressive, retrospective bore with a slick brother living in Atlantic City.
The movie starts off with a little promise, but ambles along like a bad rash, never really
going anywhere. It's a movie about losers finding themselves (or re-discovering themselves
with Dern and Nicholson) and going nowhere. I find most of the characters annoying, especially
Burstyn's. Waste of time.





Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - 1 Star If You Like A Feel Good Movie, 5 Stars If You Like Tragedy
I must say about this movie that the acting, directing and production are five stars all the way with Jack Nicholson & Bruce Dern turning in unforgettable performances. The film moves along at a slow pace developing the characters intricately and providing a rather somber atmosphere, similar to 5 Easy Pieces. If you gravitate to tragic, disturbing stories then I think you'll find this movie to be outstanding. However, if you're looking for comedy or a feel good movie I think you'll be very dissappointed ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - King of Marvin Gardens
This movie is a cult classic. Ellen Burstyn, Jack Nicholson, Bruce Dern and Julia Robinson star in this 1970's movie about two very different brothers and their relationship as well as their broken dreams and schemes. Ellen Burstyn said this is one of her favorite movies. Julia Robinson is stunningly beautiful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - most under rateds film of all time.
Superb performances from Nicholson, Burstyn and Dern in particular (all oscar worthy in my opinion). Haunting DP work by the Late, great Lazlo Kovakz, a thoughtful, subtle script and Bob Rafelsons steady,silent directorial touches combine to make this perhaps the the best film of the 1970's (Godfather II and Armacord are possible contenders asewell). Think I'm over exaggerating? well I'm fully aware of the size of that statement and i stand by it. Thier is no film from that era that just gets that much better ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - King Jack
A over looked classic, all the cast act their socks off. Nicholson particularly is understated and so more effective. Failed dreams portrayed in a most moving fashion.
