Mickey Rourke
Reviews Featuring Mickey Rourke
Gunfire and violence alone dont equate to a good story - its not funny, its not clever, its not sexy, and its not remotely interesting. It is one thing though complete rubbish.
'Spun' is a frenetically paced trip taken by people going nowhere fast, caught on a web of their own spinning. More subtle, but no less devastating, than 'Requiem for a Dream' in its depiction of pharmaceutical crash-and-burn, it lets the characters' tragic trajectories speak for themselves instead of preaching an anti-drug gospel from some elevated pulpit. A sleazily compelling insider's view into the nihilistic, self-deluding world of crystal meths.
Professionally-made, but unremarkable.
Worth seeing, if only because its one of the few films to spend much of its time focussing on the fact that people do, in fact, sometimes need to use the bathroom.
Thank you for the music, Mr Dylan you should definitely stick to what you know.
A beautiful-looking, well-acted revenge movie, but too big and dumb-assed to be so serious.
Its packed to the gunnels with sex and violence but, after all the hype, inflicting this level of disappointment upon us is the biggest sin of all.
A close-up dive into one section of one mans life that shows just whats possible, movie-wise, when the right actor and the right director are in it for the love of the film.
A fun but pretty pointless sequel that retraces a lot of old ground and wastes a talented supporting cast in favour of an all-out blanket coverage on Robert Downey Jr.'s superhero.
Read all about it - Sylvester Stallone and Dolph Lundgren in poor acting shocker! As was always going to be the case, bags of testosterone filled action rescues The Expendables from being plain awful and makes it a fun watch instead.
A perfectly watchable swords and sandals gorefest. Nothing more.
