All too depressing for me to provide a positive review, I'm afraid.
Joe May is an aging hustler, just out of hospital after a 7-week bout of pneumonia. He returns to his chilly neighborhood to find that his apartment has been rented to a single mother and her 9-year old daughter. His scant belongings have been thrown out by the landlord who thought Joe had just moved away without telling anyone.
And it all goes downhill from there for the hapless Joe.
I'd like to say that Joe, or the movie, have some redeeming qualities that are revealed as the story s-l-o-w-l-y and miserably unfolds, but there are none.
This might be "the role of his life" as tagged by one Eye for Film reviewer, but Dennis Farina is much easier to watch in Law and Order.
