Couldn't even see it because Rourke is just too repulsive.


What a worthless sack of sh*t, and horrific actor too.

The story is about two drunks, they are supossed to be ugly.

Not a movie for Disney's audience.

reply

He's still way too repulsive, and the real life character is like 10 times worse.

reply

Then you should stick to your Disney movies.

Still, the movie is good and that you don't like Bukowski is your problem not mine. I bet yo read S.Meyer or her fanfic writer EL James.

Wow. OP is a retard. Sad.

He still had charm, enough to court Faye Dunaway no less.

I like Mickey Rourke, especially in "Angel Heart" - but his speech in Barfly was annoyyyiiiinnngg.

Is it just me, or did he constantly stretch out the last word of his sentence one too many times?

reply

He was speaking the way bukowski spoke in real life because... not to spoil it for u but henry is just an alter ego for chsrles bukowski.

reply

Yeah, Faye Dunaway's Wanda character is quite leggy, I think.

Watch a movie about Mr. Rogers?
