Things are going well for Matt Dillon, which is more than you can say for Henry Chinaski. Henry is the man whom Dillon plays in "Factotum." As the title implies, Henry has never been blessed--or burdened--with steady employment. In his eyes, glazed and hooded as they are, a job is something you do to fill the hours until your next drink. Sometimes you can't wait that long; in the opening scenes, Henry, given the task of driving a refrigerated truck for an icemaking company, leaves it outside a bar, with the rear doors hanging open. His boss finds him there, and the job just melts away.
