Plot

Clarence marries hooker Alabama, steals cocaine from her pimp, and tries to sell it in Hollywood, while the owners of the coke try to reclaim it.

Sinekatalog’s take

A pulpy, foul-mouthed lovers-on-the-run crime caper with a scorching script and a parade of scene-stealing cameos. It is violent, romantic and gleefully excessive, with one of cinema's great tense two-person dialogue scenes. Cult favorite stuff for fans of stylish crime.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
