The Survivors

1983 · 103 min

A shaggy, uneven comedy that drifts into dark satire, carried by the odd-couple chemistry of its two leads.

Tagline: Once they declare war on each other, watch out. You could die laughing.
Overview: Having both lost their jobs, two strangers become unlikely friends after a run in with a would be robber, who is actually a hitman with a grudge against the two.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, absurd and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Survival, friendship, parenthood, class
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
