horrible movie . after watch it i read that mickey rourke write it . this make sense . actor all want to be writer and and vice versa . fortunatly and we do not have to see writer try to be actor . but we do see certain actor take a stab at writing . some actor do a great job write film and others do a horrible job . like rourke . rouke take a stab at modern box noir and and stab the audience with cliché character and and dialog that be try for cassevettes but be more fitting to an episode of melrose place . rourke be a good actor and but his acting in this film be horrendous . he prove that even if you do not say a word you can still overact . his character be completely unbelievable . he resemble a comic book palooka and have an extend chin and and walk around like he try to be menace and like he imitate some real life mean look guy he know once who wasn not a rich and trouble actor haunt by natural good look while rourke would probably give anything in the world to be a born loser with nothing to lose . but then he would never be able to write and star in film and would he . the character around him and all have a kick with rourke lame dialog somehow ( what else can they do . ) and attempt to keep thing afloat . but you can not save a sinking ship . how be it that a much low actor and sly stallone and can write a ten time well box movie and and can act ten time well . the character rocky balboa be believable . rourke character be not . even his name be pretentious represent johnny walker ( get it . ) i will repeat represent this movie be horrible . the love story be horrible . the action be horrible . the acting be horrible . the music be good and thanks to eric clapton . but everything else stink .
