Looks great...kinda sad and poignant...Rourke has always been a favorite of mine...very good actor...the only thing is why in the name of God did he destroy his face like that???

[toys2cool]

He happened to him boxing in real life

i love Mickey too,I've been hearing nothing but good stuff about this film.Can't wait to see it.When does it come out?

[Hector]

No...it was not boxing...it was all those multiple plastic surgeries done on his face.

[BlackKnight]

I've heard of this.. it sound interesting.

[Hector]

Lennox Lewis today...after all those years of amateur and pro boxing...



Does not look "weird" like Rourke...

[BlackKnight]

^^^ Yeah But Lewis was DOING the Punching into other Peoples faces.

[Hector]

Great point.

Came out Christmas day, in limited release. I saw it friday night and it is excellent. Rourke is brilliant and the similarities between himself and the character he plays, makes it quite poignant.

"His boxing career resulted in severe facial injuries which required a number of operations to repair his damaged face."

He might have had some scar tissue from boxing...but dude...that's just bad plastic surgery...Rourke has even admitted to that.

I was watching an interview with him. He talked about how many of the great Older Wrestlers Thanked him for making a serious movie about Wrestling and what happens to many older Wrestlers when the cheering Starts to fade away and they deal with Body pain that comes from years of abusing their Bodies in the ring.
