646f9e108c A reformed ex-convict enters a love triangle and gets manipulated into being a scapegoat in a murder scheme for revenge. I don&#39;t know how much scenes of the movie have been cut in the German TV version. While decided going to bed, I zapped around a little… and: baboom! I watched the whole movie. It&#39;s one of the movies I could watch over and over again.<br/><br/>First impression was, that the movie was a mixture of &quot;Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas&quot; (surreal), &quot;U-Turn&quot;, a litle bit &quot;sore loosers&quot; and movies like that. It&#39;s a very idependent film and everybody who likes strange films with very good acting combined with a strange story, drug abuse and so on… should love this movie.<br/><br/>Personally, I ordered it the next day I saw it on TV. Here we have the basic formula for a revenge story. Mickey Rourke starscop whose wife is accidentally killed one evening whilst entertaining a strange young man. He then starts stalking the convict on his release…..which leads to Rourke&#39;s lust for revenge. Had the story been this straight forward on screen then it surely would&#39;ve bored me to tears, but the films eccentric characters and the complex relationships within the film carry it completely. Balthazar Getty makes a cameoa whacked out pimp/motel owner Overall well worth a look.<br/><br/>It&#39;s unlikely you&#39;ll see Rourke in a low budget movie again, since his career has taken off again (finally), so check this out if your a fan.
