One Wild Ride

Rating: 8/10 (28 April 2005)

All others who have afforded commentary, will no doubt mention all that is fabulously original with this wild roller coaster ride of a movie. Suffice to say, the cast is brilliant, cinematography beyond belief, true to the subject material directly on point. A new millennium look at the great 40's & 50's Mickey Spillane type plots, with modern 'rip em' up' thrown in for the present time & culture. Mickey Rourke is 'all over' his portrayal of 'Marv', & all the women are beautiful and seductive. Clive Owen's Dwight is as complicated and interesting a character as has been witnessed in a while. Absolutely loved Elijah Woods Kevin. Benicio Del Toro never disappoints, and neither does anyone else in this epic original film. The matchbook cover said it all...BOOZE & BROADS!
