“Man, this is my favorite film. I've got about five pictures of Jack Nicholson in my house. It's about a guy that's on the run from himself.”

Callum Turner

Actor

“I really think it's my favorite Nicholson performance. There's just something about how he approaches this character, such a morally gray character, yet you're rooting for him.”

Mikey Madison

Actor

“Bob Rafelson and Hal Ashby — they just don't make them like that anymore, they really don't. I mean, just so rich and complex and easy. It almost feels like it's just happening.”
