"Film about a Long Island loser, 31-year-old unemployed man who spends most his time getting drunk in the titular watering hole and leading a pathetic non-existance. Buscemi’s directorial debut is more a character study than a rewarding story and for this reason it can sometimes seem slow and dull whether by intention or not. The performances are great."
