Firstly,I can say that Rourke's performance wasn't perfect at all.He is good;but not the very one for Academy Award.Film's biggest problem is trying to tell a very intensified story;but while doing this failing to give deepness to the characters.In my opinion,in this movie perfectly drawn character is stripteaser Cassidy,because director really shows her dilemmas about Ram and makes her both a mother and a very opposite character,a stripteaser.She wants to be a mother who really wants to care her son,but her work blocks it.Tomei's performance is really significant.Actually character deepness problem is solved in the last scenes by slowing the story down.Still Stephanie stays as the biggest deficiency of movie.She's pale,far from reality,undependable.She firstly hates her father,suddenly she becomes happy with his father's present and after this she hates from her father because her father doesn't come to the date he promised to come.I think all these mistakes made Stephanie the weakest ring of the movie.Also there's not something we can name as creative in the movie,everything was ordinary and typical.I'm sorry but i can't say that this movie was the one i really expected.
