Many a strange decision is made in Hollywood every day, but sometimes one comes along that’s more stranger than the rest. Someone obviously thought it would be a good idea to co-star Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson in a science fiction Western biker heist buddy movie, because here is just such an animal.
Set in the year 1996 when your high street bank are now pushing drugs as well as mortgages, this has Rourke as a battered biker and Johnson as a lonesome cowboy brawling, boozing, womanising and spouting philosophy as they rob armoured cars, jump off hotels, gun down baddies and whine at each other about how they’re the last real men in America.
This film was clearly an excuse for Johnson and Rourke to misbehave at the studio’s expense and it show’s through the obvious lack of effort put in by stars and director.
