This movie stars Mickey Rourke and Marisa Tomei, both portraying washed up professionals in their chosen careers. It kinda makes you feel sorry for those out there making money with their bodies (ie: athletes/models). Sometimes it is all they know how to do and will do it even though the consequences are severe. Moral of the story: a fallback plan is a necessity for when you are older and less fit if you spend your life making money with such a limited resource. Good flick. Only for grown kids due to violence, cursing, and nudity (strip clubs.) Yeah!
Fell asleep: yeah, but it was late!
Overall? decent
Would I recommend? yes
Would I watch it again? nah, not likely
