Have just watched. Mainly 'cos of the acting, this sucks: Thomas's character comes over as slightly unhinged - though I don't think it was intended - cos he over-acts, just like the clichéd thugs so often portrayed in American movies of the 80s, which it feels very much of. Crosby is fine but has little to do other than accompany Thomas: she doesn't seem engaged with the movie as there was little for her to do; she seems one-dimensional.
Thomas's character comes over as a bit of a 'dick': he's meant to convey small-town naivety, per plot, but just seems gauche and foolish, such as the scene where he jumps in front of a truck, waving madly, to stop it for a lift... and just stands there, about to be mowed-down. Implausible. If I were Crosby I'd be leaving him to his fate!
Something to watch when doing the ironing, then - certainly not to look out for!
