Summary: The story follows two out of work actors, Mel and Fred. Mel works part time as a day laborer. They learn that screenwriter Fritz Frobisher, who had violently abused the two actors with a whip during a childhood acting job, will be appearing at a screening of one of his films that will take place in Monument Valley. The two decide to travel from Los Angeles to the screening, but neither owns a car, so they convince Mel's daughter, Delilah, to drive them on their revenge journey. (Wikepedia)

It is a very erratic and messily-made film, but by the end it becomes charming in its take on cinema and morality, both in Alex Cox's references to USA politics at the time, and the careful choice of western references (The Great Silence against John Wayne for example if you get said references). It doesn't completely work, and suffers at points from the low production values visually, but it's admirable, capped off by a bizarre non-sequitur of an ending.
