The first thought that comes to mind when watching this film was that Buffalo '66 must have been influenced by Barfly. Although, this film has a lot more booze. There are like maybe three scenes in which the main character doesn't have a bottle in his hand. Mickey Rourke stars as the slow talking, care-free bum that can be considered a "barfly." However, the acting reminded me far more of Marlon Brando than of any movie I've seen staring Rourke. It must be the sagging eyes and the slow, care-free, mumble-esque sounds that come out of his mouth. The good news about this film: There is corn smuggling. The bad news: The corn is too ripe to be eaten.
3 1/2 stars
