Phoenix never attended formal school. Screenwriter Naomi Foner later commented, “He was totally, totally without education. I mean, he could read and write, and he had an appetite for it, but he had no deep roots into any kind of sense of history or literature.”[11] George Sluizer claimed Phoenix was dyslexic

The opening section is minutes and minutes of driving along uninspiring countryside. There were supposed to be titles added, but they never appeared. I recommend watching only the MST3K version.

The robbery scene, which is the central scene of the movie, has no dialogue (or background music). It’s designed to show how the robbers are professionals who all know their job and don’t need any instructions or communications while they’re working.

I’ll pass.
