CGiii Comment
It doesn't exactly go anywhere...even though it takes a long time in not doing so...
Without a doubt, it looks fantastic but without a connection with the main protagonists...Sal is a rather passionless, ass-licking, faithful puppy dog...whereas Dean is an irresponsible passionate licker of many asses...regardless of sex.
The repetition is tedious...it's the same old same old in every city - sex, drugs and tepid Jazz.
Most of the incidental characters need not have been represented...Burroughs, Ginsberg et al do nothing to propel the story forward...it's a road movie without going anywhere in terms of character development.
The book was a journey...the film is a good-looking trip around the block...with all the alleyways left unexplored.
