Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
redhotmustafa-1 The cinematography, the pictures, the sites, the atmosphere - very good. The story - good enough to make something memorable out of it. But...The acting and directing is so poor. Mickey Rourke is such a "nothing". He is maybe handsome but you don't buy it in the movie. Cool ? Clever ? Emotional ? No, just nothing, no depth, no character, just a bum walking around. And that is the last thing such a story should do.The directing - every time there is action I asked myself "why are they running around ?" You just don't buy it, like the whole story in total. And everything looks so unconnected. No depth creation for the main character is the most serious lack of the movie.Can't keep wondering what David Fincher could have made out of it.
marieinkpen I love Mickey Rourke, I love Robert de Niro. Rourke is OK, such a lovely face, such presence, always watchable. But de Niro is crap - not helped at all by a terrible script and a clichéd role. What was he thinking? Could he have ever been so desperate for work? Very confusing film, I couldn't work out what was real and what wasn't, and the ending doesn't make sense to me - if Angel is really Johnny what is the relevance of him killing all those people? Or is it so they don't identify him? I have no idea. If he had changed into looking like the soldier then wouldn't Margaret have recognised him anyway? It could have been good but cinematically is so clichéd and irritating. And I am not a huge fan of seeing chickens killed, thank you very much.
devesh pant Movie is created in late 80's they showed time of 50's and I watched in 2016 but director have done very good job with it. Still those movies which are created now and showing the old time are very similar to this movie. They used two great actors Mickey Rourke and Robert De Niro but story more revolve around mickey. One thing they are showing is very irritating that is Robert's nails again and again they are showing it except that everything is good. So, movie starts with mickey and he is private detective, Robert is his client and gave him the work to find the missing person. Than mickey started his search and try contact everyone who knows him and he found out that guy is related to dark magic also. Who so he contacted is getting killed than he got scared to much. After sometime he found out that his client is Lucifer the demon and he is here to take him down to hell and that guy whom he is searching was himself. He lost his memory 12 year ago living under some other name and he was killing everyone by instruction of the demon. This movie is full of suspense and movie is little slow. If you are fan of mickey you will like this movie. Robert de niro has very less role.
inioi I watched the movie back in 1987 in Madrid with a group of friends.The theater was crowded. When the movie finished and the lights turned on, nobody moved from their seats. the film was so shocking, deep, intelligent, terrifying, that simply we were not able to assimilate what we saw.This is not a usual horror movie. Is extremely psychological. Some days after watching the movie i was under the influence of this feeling: a kind of unusual fear, which lies deeply at the bottom of our subconscious . Ancestral, ancient fear. In order to cause this feeling, the director conceived a claustrophobic atmosphere, highly mysterious and disturbing: spiral staircases, shadows, opening and closing doors, intense and visceral soundtrack full of subliminal sounds, and most important: an intelligent and totally different plot from what we've seen so far.It is also a story about karma and it's remuneration. The discovery of who we really are. Fate.10/10
