Review of Desperate Hours (1990) by Hal Hinson for Washington Post — 12 Oct 1993
Rourke is, in fact, exceedingly creepy. There's an unpredictable, resonant menace in his eccentricity. But Cimino can't connect the movie's thriller elements to its themes. We end up spending way too much time indoors while this thug waves a gun at these poor innocents.
