Disappointed...

Rating: 5/10 (24 April 2009)

I was hoping for more. Rourke was quite good, but the script was quite thin, dark, unimportant and not unique! It was a parade of losers performing as losers always do. The stripper for example, saying "I'm not a stripper!" OK honey...
How did the scenes in the deli add anything to the story?
The only sympathetic character was his daughter; who gives him one last chance, which of course he blows!
Well I wanted to stop there as I don't feel this movie is worthy of more comment, but It seems that there is a minimum size for comments allowed in this forum, so I must write on...
Why should people go to a theatre to observe darkness? That's something that healthy minded people normally try to avoid. This movie did not contain an adventure, or a mystery, nor was it frightening, just depressing, to me anyway...
