646f9e108c A reformed ex-convict enters a love triangle and gets manipulated into being a scapegoat in a murder scheme for revenge. Two things, Mickey Rourke and grizzled burn out. Need I say more? Sure the story is pretty dumb, but it kind of has a message. EEEHHHH, but who cares we're talking about The Mick at his burnt out best. The scene in the alley where he's drinking from the liquor bottle and in a fit of unbridled rage flings the bottle into a wall, slamming it into a million pieces is worth the price of rental alone. Mickey's dialogue is a hoot too, he's so burnt out he can barely speak and would rather beat the daylights out of you than muster the strength to look at you.<br/><br/>Its up to you whether to see it or not, but if your a Mick fan, more importantly a burn out Mick fan don't miss it. Surreal, complex storytelling. Excellent acting, though maybe too discordant for some viewers.<br/><br/>Ex-con with a good heart meets up with chronic marijuana user and his wannabe actress wife in LA. In typical indie fashion too many plot twists to spoil here. Great imagery and strong emotion. Mistaken identity, or just desserts, you decide.<br/><br/>Judging by the average review, many people "just don't get it."<br/><br/>How far would you go for millions?<br/><br/>Did he kill the woman, and does he deserve to die?<br/><br/>Good intentions meet bad characters. An ex-con just trying to go straight meets the wrong people at the wrong time.<br/><br/>Mickey Rourke excellent as a vengeful cop on the down-turn, where vengeance gets the best of justice, or does it?
