Micky Rourke should have played Sam

whole time I was watching the film I just keep thinking, "this part just screams Micky Rourke." Butler is way too limited an actor to pull off a part this complex.

I thought that Butler was alright. I also liked Michael Shannon is this film. Rourke would've been superb,

Rourke also looks like the real Sam Childers. Either him or Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
