This guy is a living legend! He acts so god-damn cool. But he can also be this very dramatic actor like he was in THE PLEDGE, allthough he didn´t have much screentime in there. He´s amazing

This guy's arms are HUGE!! He's menacing! But his face is a mess!
He's surprisingly gentle in real life. He has these real small dogs that he cares for. I read about it somewhere...

mickey rourke has been my favoriteactor for several years. in fact i only saw this movie because he was in it. his performance in this movie was good. it seems like every movie he's in brings a different persona to the film. in this film he comes off as an arrogant *beep* and it works well. even though stallone is the good guy i enjoyed rourke kicking his ass. rourke seemed a believable opponent who would be able to handle stallone. i liked the ending rourke scene where rourke is smoking a cigarette and dancing. he has this look on his face, you could just feel the arrogance radaiting. good persona. the only thing not too realistic was when stallone knocks him out with one punch. i guess it's possible for a guy of his size to do it. just would have liked to see more. what's the deal when stallone is about to shoot him? his eyes are wide open? is he dead? i didn't get that.
