Review of Barfly (1987) by Jordan G — 28 May 2014
Mickey Rourke has his best performance here in the skid row of 1980's Los Angeles. He lives as close to the edge as any true artist must. Despite appearances, his character is not a bum but sort of a beautiful soul.
You can call his motives perverse or you can call them noble, one things for sure though - he is entertaining every second he is on screen.
