Dogfight
1991, 90 minutes, Rated M
The Marines have landed! Cpl. Eddie Birdlace and three buddies are on the loose among San Francisco's bars, tattoo parlors and blue-movie houses. They've also organised a 'dogfight', a wager with simple rules. Each guy puts in $50. And the one who finds the most unattractive date wins. Birdlace finds Rose.
River Phoenix gave one of his most endearing performances as Eddie in Dogfight, a terrific and touching Vietnam-Era saga set to a memory-evoking '60s-tunes soundtrack and directed by Nancy Savoca (True Love, Household Saints). Lili Taylor is equally indelible as 'ugly duckling' Rose, who joing Eddie in a night of life-tranforming impact. In a time to be marked by huge changes, they share the most dynamic change of all: love.
