Ratings and reviews

I saw this based on other's reviews. Under publicized, but deserving of so much more attention. Mickey Rourke outstanding performance, cared deeply about his character and situation. Excellent story telling, very well done.

I can't find a trailer here however I loved the dark nihilistic soliquily osm of the film deep and monosibilic in delivery at the same time Like American Beauty

Hall Of Famer RICKY "THE DRAGON" STEAMBOAT Trained MICKEY ROURKE To Prepare Him For This Role Of RANDY "THE RAM" ROBINSON. I Was So Disappointed That Mickey Rourke Was Nominated For An Oscar For Best Actor And Lost To Sean Penn. I'm A Wrestling Fan And This Movie Was So Good.
