Homeboy (1988)
Unfairly underrated movie
19 May 2023
A poignant, depressing, gloomy drama about a loser splendidly played by Mickey Rourke for a character that seemed to be made especially for him. I also would have imagined Steve McQueen in this film, I don't know why.... My all times favourite from M. R, more than YEAR OF THE DRAGON for instance. Not destined for sure to large audiences, those silly people craving for super f...heroes whilst eating their popcorn. . This may be painful to watch if you are plenty involved into the character. Mickey Rourke should have won an Academy Awards for this incredible performance, sort of THE WRESTLER, twenty years ahead.
