“Rourke u0026amp; Roberts pre-fame.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCharlie Moran (Rourke) seemed more like an Irish hood instead of an Italian. Rourke basically set a trend on the type of characters he plays. Heu0026#39;s basically re-did this role again and again. And why not? Heu0026#39;s great at it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEric Roberts is a chronic over actor. But unlike most, he can be so entertaining. Watching him chew the scenery here was the most fun. The whole u0026quot;He should die, die, die….u0026quot; scene after they get fired in the beginning is still a corker.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eDaryl Hannah is not the best actress, but she seemed to thrive here as Charlieu0026#39;s straight girlfriend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd kudos to Walsh, Young, McMillan (R.I.P), and the brilliant Geraldine Page (also R.I.P) for their roles. Page almost stole the film.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd I think Bedbug Eddie (Young) was based on the late NYC mafia leader Fat Tony Salerno. He also conducted most of his business in a no frills back room. He also didnu0026#39;t drink.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eGood character study.”
