I've only been trying to see this movie for 20 years. It finally came to the top of my netflix queue. What a wonderful little movie this is -- and so authentically New York. This is probably the last real New York movie before the bizarre and depressing takeover by the WASP haute... read more
Two restaurateurs turned thieves pull off a heist but anger the mob.
Mickey Rourke was damn attractive in his younger days, and his talent, on full display in this film, makes his career's eventual fizzle all the more tragic. His performance in this film doesn't sink to the dept... read more
Substandard; Roberts overacts; Rourke overbroods; predictably plotted; haphazardly directed. Other than Page, no one bothered to realistically convey emotion.
This film almost lost me with how utterly annoying Eric Roberts is in it. But, he's an integral part of this story about family bonds and friendship and a burglary-gone-wrong in the center of it all. Rourke was a rising star at this point and showcased his trademark smooth style.... read more
The summer wind came blowing in across the sea . . .
Mickey Rourke's best performance ever. Might be Eric Roberts best ever as well. Can't beat that Sinatra sound. This is another one that looks back at Saturday Night Fever.
Decent family/mob-ish movie based in New York's Little Italy in the mid 80's. Mickey Rourke is fantastic and Eric Roberts shows a flair for where he could have gone as an actor (even though his character is BEYOND annoying) and great to see Burt Young chewing up the scenery as Be... read more
It's got everything,a Mytery-Suspensful,Drmactic Comedy. With a great story and a fantastic plot,and also great acting.
Both Mickey Rourke & Eric Roberts gave amazing Performances as real Slippery Characters in this.It has been years since I've seen it, & yet it left enough of an impact I have never forgotten it.Reminds me of Midnight Cowboy
Great movie with a young Mickey Rourke & a very young Eric Roberts with a fro.I haven't seen to many of Rourke's early movies but this must've been when he was still a good actor because most of the movies I've ever seen him in have been garbage.Something about the ending of this... read more
This was a lot of serious fun. Mickey Rourke is fantastic as a down-on-his-luck Irish-Italian kid whose irresponsible, probably crazy cousin, played by Eric Roberts in a bizarre performance, just lost them their jobs in a crooked Greenwich Village Italian restaurant. Things get w... read more
Mickey Rourke at the height of his powers.
A colorful, funny and very authentic slice of New York City street life. One of the most underrated, overlooked films of the 1980s.
A fantastic flick from stem to stern; Penn & Roberts are just flawless together.
A gangster story with an odd Horatio Alger point-of-view. It's nonsense, but it's nonsense with some unpredictability and a conman's easy style.
