Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
lkobler-672-870759 It can't be said enough that this is a fun buddy movie (the best kind of movie) and that Don Johnson is absolutely gorgeous with a beard. He's why I watch it whenever it's on and I have the DVD.
bkoganbing Harley Davidson And The Marlboro Man is a film not for the serious and not for the serious minded. This modern version of Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid casts Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson as a pair of devil may care bikers who live by their own rules and cross back and forth between the law and being outlaws. Sometimes they blend the line real close.Because some tight bankers are trying to foreclose on a favorite bar hangout of their's, just for a lark these two decide to rob the bank that's giving them the grief. Just like in Charley Varrick it turns out to be a syndicate front that not only launders money, but keeps the drugs on premises including a new designer drug that these two walk off with the prototype.I will say that Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson have the same easy going chemistry that Paul Newman and Robert Redford had. They make a somewhat silly plot easy to digest. Daniel Baldwin of the thespian Baldwin family also looks like he's feasting on the furniture playing the head bad guy. There's a gimmick involving a pair of old and patchworn boots that Don Johnson wears. In that final showdown with Baldwin those boots actually play a part in the climax.This one is one to enjoy and not get too cerebral over.
lost-in-limbo Who was the Einstein to put Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson together, because their agreeable combination was a blast as the two novelty title characters … but as for the feature itself it was a very lukewarm conventional buddy action comedy with a modern western touch to it all. From guys having a good time, organising a heist that goes wrong (not money, but drugs… whoops) and then finding them on the run for it. Having strong protagonists is one thing (though you could say Rourke and Johnson do feel like they were on cruise control), but they do carry this one along, where as having weak villains is downright criminal. A less than imposing Tom Sizemore is wasted, despite being the main corporate villain oozing with confidence, while Daniel Baldwin just lacked any sort of punch even though looking the part decked in black leather as a henchman. Even the bit players come and go with little to no impact. Julius Harris adds some class, while there's amusing playful parts for Big John Studd and Giancarlo Esposito. Then the likes of Chelsea Field, Vanessa Williams, Tia Carrere and Robert Ginty's characters felt like secondary inclusions to add something ala filler, which probably could have been scrapped from its bloated script. Director Simon Wincer gives it slick technical treatment (crafty cinematography) and aplomb in it's vigorously over exaggerated action set-pieces and stunt-work, but its liveliness couldn't hide its generic score, banal story structure and silly plotting. A mindless popcorn action romp with its two stars having a ball. "It's better to be dead and cool, than alive and uncool".
deadsenator Ug. This film is not great. It's also not quite good, either. Hambone acting from everyone involved, with writing to match, makes it a good candidate for "Bad Movie Night". While it may find some merit in this regard, more isn't really deserved. The from-the-gut pat lines from Rourke and Johnson left me rolling my eyes. How Johnson finds his ex riding down the road is a mystery to me. Did I miss something? I do like Tom Sizemore, but his paper-thin bad-guy role is very tepid at best. I will say that Daniel Baldwin was better than I thought he would be. Even as cheesy as his performance was, I liked him. The method in which he and his mates appears is very much a cheese soaked experience. Have I mentioned the cheese? There is some. Much. And more. No, no. I'm full. Please stop. No..?Oh, I sat through the entire film and even paid attention (note title). Lots of folks rave about the buddy connection points of this film, but I thought it was vapid and ridiculous. Comic book style. It's certainly not the worst film 'evar', but it also never got over the hump of gaining my favor, but I guess you (The Reader) know that by now. For a brainless semi-action tough buddy film, it's okay, but Tango and Cash (7of10) would be a much better one in that genre. Check that one out. I give this one a 4 of 10.
