 Martin Brest (future director of "Scent Of A Woman" with Al Pacino) directs here an exemplary road movie, mixing action, comedy, and moralistic hints at a rhythm constantly kept at high levels, always adding more strands to a plot that actually presents all elements already seen before, but presents them in an absolutely brilliant way.
