Nocturnal Mistress I was a little bit skeptical when I purchased this DVD with the reviews I've read. I'm a Mickey Rourke fan, so I decided to take my chances. Needless to say I am not disappointed! I was expecting a film specifically made for male audiences only but it turns out both sexes can appreciate just how great movies used to be in the 80s and early 90s. The frequent one-liners were hilarious and at times though provoking. The action is just right and not over the top and the plot line was even decent. I give it a 7 out of 10. I sometimes wonder if Mickey Rourke looks back upon his sexy looks and regrets all that he's put his face and body through!

NateWatchesCoolMovies There are some movies that perfectly encapsulate the late 80's, early 90's epitome of trash bag, chromed up, machismo soaked, violently silly over the top theme park ride vibe of the action genre at that time. Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man is a perfect example of that. It's a down and dirty sleazeball flick that is just so fun. Mickey Rourke plays Harley, a biker cowboy on a steel horse who makes his way back to a slightly futuristic LA to reconnect with his old barfly friends, including the rodeo riding Marlboro Man (Don Johnson). Rourke claims he only did this one for the dough, but I call bullshit. He has such a ball with his leathery tan, cocky prick attitude and spiked hair it's impossible he wasn't invested, even in a purely camp form. Don Johnson is slick and deadly as his trigger happy buddy Marlboro. Between quips, fist and gunfights, smoking and boozing, they try to exact revenge on the tyrannical big city banker (Tom Sizemore) who laid waste to their friends inner city bar. Sizemore is no stranger to dangerous, mean spirited roles, and he plays the megalomaniac financier with a razor sharp, homicidal calm that's giddily entertaining. A young Tia Carrere shows up as his sultry assistant, as well as work from Daniel Baldwin, Kelly Hu, Vanessa Angel and Chelsea Field. It's no smart action flick, but it's a brutal, tongue in cheek modern western with dusty, broken glass and whiskey soaked style that will entertain anyone who has nostalgia for that era of action movies.

sikkwolf Look, anyone who says they didn't like this movie, is either a self righteous fat chick, or has no ability to appreciate film. On the surface this is a pretty standard "dim look into the very near future" kinda movie, a style that was beaten dry in the late 80's and early 90's. But if you really watch this, and really pay attention, you get way more than what you bargained for. It's not gonna win any awards, don't get me wrong, but it's a fantastic film As has already been stated repeatedly here, the film is so laden with testosterone that watching twice in one day may double you sex drive for a week on top of instigating the formation of a few new active hair follicles. The fight scenes are overacted, the dialog is too snappy for real life, and the characters are so god damned tough you'll look up to them for the rest of your life. Characters, mind you, who couldn't have been casted better, Don Johnson and Mickey Rourke really bring this piece of true performance art together. Not to mention watching "Bobby Sixkiller" from "The Renegade"... You know what, just watch it.

deadsenator Ug. This film is not great. It's also not quite good, either. Hambone acting from everyone involved, with writing to match, makes it a good candidate for "Bad Movie Night". While it may find some merit in this regard, more isn't really deserved. The from-the-gut pat lines from Rourke and Johnson left me rolling my eyes. How Johnson finds his ex riding down the road is a mystery to me. Did I miss something? I do like Tom Sizemore, but his paper-thin bad-guy role is very tepid at best. I will say that Daniel Baldwin was better than I thought he would be. Even as cheesy as his performance was, I liked him. The method in which he and his mates appears is very much a cheese soaked experience. Have I mentioned the cheese? There is some. Much. And more. No, no. I'm full. Please stop. No..?Oh, I sat through the entire film and even paid attention (note title). Lots of folks rave about the buddy connection points of this film, but I thought it was vapid and ridiculous. Comic book style. It's certainly not the worst film 'evar', but it also never got over the hump of gaining my favor, but I guess you (The Reader) know that by now. For a brainless semi-action tough buddy film, it's okay, but Tango and Cash (7of10) would be a much better one in that genre. Check that one out. I give this one a 4 of 10.
