Original but also incoherent and sometimes chaotic film. It all looks like a home movie. Especially interesting because of one of the first films by both Robert DeNiro and Brian DePalma. Nice to see a young DeNiro whose potential is already on display, especially in the scene where he auditions for a cop.

That Black Power sequence was particularly disturbing, put the reasonably funny rest of the film in a completely different context. 3.5*

Film with 2 faces. On the one hand a romantic, slightly mischievous comedy, on the other hand bitter seriousness with racist, terrorist aspects.
I found the moments in which the film could actually be enjoyed too few and I did not find a unity of thought in it either.
