Anderson has a gift for such comically macabre scenes: while the pale old man flails about helplessly, the orderlies argue with the nurse over whether they will get a side order of bacon in their extra-incentive breakfast...
...everyone. An exceptionally violent streak seems to run through the trade. Says the DEA's Bacon about the Colombian gangs: "They're absolutely ruthless, and they've imported their way of doing business to this country."

Penn persuasively portrays a clever lad who is so defeated that he cannot imagine a light, or even an end to the tunnel. The two young men's high-kicking, cruel humor works better in the play's free-form first act than in the second, which is overladen with plot. But at every moment they capture the futile bravado...
