When con man Nat (Christopher Walken) convinces his straitlaced son, Flynn (Alessandro Nivola), to join him on a road trip, the two learn a few things about each other as they drive to New Mexico, attempting to live on no more than $5 a day. While they scam their way across the country, Flynn deals with the resentment he feels for his estranged father. (Flynn once served jail time for one of Nat's shady deals.)

Not nearly as many scams as you'd think given the summary of a con man on the road. Christopher Walken does the best he can. The rest of the cast (including a very mundane Amanda Peet and a sun tanned Sharon Stone) were fine but the movie was really forgettable. The ending was relatively abrupt. Fav scene: I guess the confrontation between Walker and Alessandro Nivola when the latter discovers the trip purpose behind the trip.

Boring and once it finishes, you can't shake the feeling that you've wasted your time.

The only reason I imagine anyone would watch this film is Christopher Walken. It is a very little road movie, and everything about it feels like a drill. There is nothing new or special about it, but it is never unpleasant to watch.

Despite the titles, this is not about a hooker.
