Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Aleksandar Jelovac Best of best. One of the few films that show the true reality of the street. Extra selected team, superb acting, great comedy, the film does not have a lot of extravagant make-up, no annoying characters who revolve millions, but an ordinary team off the street who makes a mess, all recommendations for this movie...

Ben Outerbridge since i watched the wrestler i've been on a kick of renting mickey rourke movies and aside from the wrestler i'd say this is his best performance i've seen so far. he was just so good in this movie. he shows so much emotion and still pulls off the whole tuff guy bad ass thing. mickey rourke is effing cool man. the guy who plays bullet's older brother also really stands out to me. he definitely had crazy, paranoid war vet down. and bullet's best friend was funny as hell. what a joke.i heard mixed reviews about this movie so i decided to go in without expecting much and i was pleasantly surprised. i really enjoyed it. it's not a feel good movie. it has lots of funny bits (for those of us with a sick sense of humor) but at the same time it is quite serious and i think people can learn from it. it may sound cool to be hard and tuff but watch this movie. i think the main intention of the movie was to show kids what street life can do to people (which of course had been done before in other films but its still good).anyway... they say that this one of mickey rourke's few good moments in that point of his acting career and i would definitely encourage people to check it out.

drkgod2002 This is a cult film for Tupac fans because it was one of his last films. However, it is the acting of Mickey Rourke, the ensemble cast, and the sweetest soundtrack, that paints the brightest of pictures. The music from the movie, the acting from, Mark Wahlberg, Adrien Brody, Tupac, and Mickey Rourke make this movie a favorite, even in re-runs on cable. "Salvador, Salvatore, what the hell is the difference?" "Hey Mazaltuff..." best lines! A great movie, before Mickey Rourke went to Patrick Swyaze's and Kenny Roger's plastic surgeon. If you are a fight fan, you can catch a cameo from 80's fighter Ray "Boom Boom" Mancini as a cop. No doubt a connection to Rourke's fighting days. Apparently, Rourke helped write the screen play, and you know, he has a great movie on his hands. Bravo Mickey!

Rokko100 It is a movie that has invoked tremendous feelings in me, due to how closely related I am to this family situation. A family that loves each other but never can admit it. The cold, sarcastically funny environment and characters that come to light in this film make it real. The musical score that Mickey Rourke personally did is outstanding! Even at the beginning of the movie when they pan the upstate New York setting as John Enos and his brother come to pick him up from the penn, the music goes from classical to hip hop beautifully with the change of seasons and finishes with Barry White. Just a trippy movie with believable characters who we all grew up with in one way or another. The family dynamic is quite bizarre but real too. Any one who grew up Jewish and not wealthy can relate to it. I really dug this movie and ended up buying it. Check it out and try not to get all caught up in how you cannot relate to these people, flawed as they are but how you do relate to them on many levels.
