On Mickey Rourke best picture who burst is Alan Bates!!

I have must recognized this time Mickey Rourke made his best performance as leading role ever, however is Alan Bates who bright, his character is absolutely ambiguous, sometimes friendly and soft spoken, sometimes cold and evil, Rourke plays Martin Fallon a regretful IRA's hit man, when he kills mistakenly a dozen kids's school on the road, cornered by own conscience he decides to stop killing, although he is pursued by the London's mobster Jack Meehan (Alan Bates) to do a last job, he accepts and did over a Priest's eyes as witness (Bob Hoskins), wisely he makes a confess to this same priest believing in sacrosanct secrecy, thus he fell safe from the police inquires, a underrated picture from the eighties, maybe explained by so contrived finale at church, which l'd totally agreed, therefore the Bates's character was colorful, he lifts the movie to another level, amplifying the meaning of the gangster, also has the younger Liam Neeson on a small role, robust and valuable British production!!

Resume:

First watch: 1994 / How many: 4 / Source: TV-DVD/ Rating: 7.75
