Highway (2002)

Two friends hit the road to escape some homicidal gangsters with a score to settle in this angsty Gen-X flick set against the backdrop of the mid-'90s grunge music scene. Highway opens with its mohawked post-teen hero Jack, up to his usual routine: smoking pot, cleaning pools, and engaging in vigorous sex with a mobster's wife. It isn't long before vengeful thugs come calling to his Las Vegas trailer-park home, however, and Jack has to flee town with his drug-dealing best buddy, Pilot. The two decide to travel to Seattle — in the week preceding Kurt Cobain's suicide — and along the way they encounter a succession of drifters, losers, and hangers-on, including a sweet-hearted prostitute named Cassie.
