I have to confess I was expecting to like it more than I did, but I wonder if it's a similar situation to Blair Witch Project, maybe if I had seen it in 1992 I would've loved it. It's definitely an interesting movie and I'd say it was definitely ahead of its time, just didn't grab me for whatever reason though.
The scene with the pregnant woman definitely tipped the film into exploitation territories for me and I think it took the film in an unwanted direction for me.



I was definitely expecting some intensity considering who was involved but I was pleasantly surprised by the introspection of the film. It was a little emotionally manipulative but still a damn good film and proof that rourke is still a brilliant actor.
