Stars: Mickey Rourke, BoJesse Christopher, Peter Greene, Scott Leet, Ed Lauter, Balthazar Getty, Christina Applegate

Director: Scott Leet

Summary: A man who accidentally kills a prostitute is sent to jail for seven years. On his release he looks to the future and a chance to put the past behind him, but he reckons without an alcoholic cop who is looking for an opportunity to put him back inside.

Although packaged as an action-thriller, this is really a very peculiar psychodrama with whacked-out West Coast characters and ambiance. Good-hearted Mississippi boy Ray Frye (Leet) accidentally killed a perverted LA woman during sex (!). Now her
vengeful husband, an addict cop no less (and Rourke to boot), is waiting to strike when Frye gets out of prison. But Ray goes out of the Frye pen and into the fire when, on parole, he boards with the scheming little family of a chintzy car-wash
entrepeneur. There's also a poison-dart serial killer on the loose who may or may not be relevant. Two principle actors share writing and directing credit in this eccentric exercise in style and thespian attitudes, that quaintly cloaks its sexy leading
ladies in bikinis even during shower scenes. For a more straightforward tale of post-prison revenge, check out Jack Nicholson in THE CROSSING GUARD.

Mickey Rourke far from his best. Mickey & Christina Applegate as lilah are wasted in this film. It is an okay film that could have been a great film with a tighter script. It is certainly no Barfly. You get the feeling Mickey Rourke had taken 1 knock too many too appear in this production. It has a number of good scenes unfortunately they are so well hidden that if you blink you might miss them.
