Serioulsy fucking awful movie. Crazy shit just happening all the time, with no consequences, except for Paulie losing a thumb(?) Just bad bad story telling.

Wow. Mickey Rourke as a young good-looking leading man. I had heard the rumors but didn't quite believe it until I saw it. But enough about Rourke. Holy crap, Eric Roberts is amazing in this film. You hate him for being such a scumbag and he ruins everything that Rourke tries to do but he is so convincingly pathetic that you almost feel bad for him. I had no idea that Roberts had this in him. His performance as Paulie easily surpasses everything that his sister has ever done. Good movie too.

there are spots where the music just ruins it, but all-in-all it's a pretty stand up movie. i didn't dig hannah, but rourke and roberts were awesome together.

Very good crime drama, with great acting from Rourke, Hannah, Burt Young and others, though Eric Roberts as Paulie kind of walks the line between powerfully eccentric and annoyingly overboard. The ending was a bit of a surprise, but I liked it.

I adored this movie in high school/college, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. Essentially a character study, but without interesting characters. Mickey Rourke does a good job, but Eric Roberts' goofy performance is too much. Kind of nice at times, but completely inconsequential.
