He’s one of those guys, along with Keith Carradine, Sam Shepherd, and Robert Redford (and maybe Harrison Ford) that just are able to play laconic and yet urgent.

Hate to even ponder it, but Jack can't live forever, though he should be allowed. All these gents will be gone.

Great actor, RIP. Loved him in The Trip and of course Easy Rider. It's cool how him and his dad each helped spearhead two distinct eras of hollywood leading men. Both great in their own right.

I think the movie as a whole holds up even if it feels very 90s indie at times. It's a quiet film held together by Fonda's quiet, simmering performance.

Last saw him do a fitting cameo in the movie Wild Hogs with John Travolta and Martin Lawrence. RIP
