  1. Alright, I’m sold. When a film comes along with such HUGE acclaim as this one, I tend to be skeptical. But in Rourke’s interview posted the other day, plus a feature in Entertainment Weekly a few issues back, he just seems like a really nice guy. And now the trailer looks awesome. Can’t wait to see the whole thing.

  4. Same here, can’t wait to see this. Always was a fan of Rourke, glad he’s getting another shot. Love the Springsteen song in there too.

  5. I saw it two days ago. It’s a good film. Rourke is outstanding. Tomei is great too. I guess I was expecting a little more, but I was in no way disappointed.
