Mickey Roarke steals this movie


I am so glad he's back. His portrayal was as sinister & substantial as it needed to be. This is one great actor. I look for his movies, & enjoy every performance.

reply

Agreed. He carried the whole thing. The scenes with Diane Lane and Thomas Jane were boring. Just filler. They were almost the McGuffin...

reply

I don't really think you can say the star of the movie "stole" the show. I thought it was mediocre at best.

reply

This film and it's cast were far from mediocre. I'm sorry you're not adept enough to recognize a good movie when it hits you between the eyes.

reply

I agree, Lane seemed a little misplaced at times and Jane did with the role what he could. At times it felt like he was reaching for something that wasn't there...as if his character was trying to dig into what was left over from The Punisher.

Rourke and Levitt were spot-on, though. Rourke really did steal the show.

reply

Agreed. It's one of his best.

reply

I agree. He totally owned this movie. The scenes were quite lacklustre until he was on screen.

Mickey is the perfect psycho. JGL wasn't bad, too.

At what point did Rourke steal the show? When he was half asleep through the whole thing or when he just stood around? If anything, this felt more like JGL's movie

Agreed. He killed it, so to speak. Rourke is one helluva an actor.

Mickey stole it by just been Mickey. Mickey doesnt act he just does what he does like Brando.
