Watch Out in Fifty For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Out in fifty is one of those films where you know the actors were just doing it to get paid, however this film is a classic tale. This is a tale of murder and revenge, of lust and adultery and of second chances. Scott Leet is excellent in the lead role, and although Christina Applegate's character could have been played by anyone, her character is symbolic of the idea that we all deserve a second chance. Raymond Frye (Leet) receives a second chance, but it is taken away by the drunken and vengeful Jack Bracken (Rourke). Some of the cuts and camera angles in this film are quite interesting and lead you to wonder what may have been possible for this film with a bigger budget. Ultimately this is a film that will not please everyone, but when watched closely, can appeal to even the most jaded critic.

The other film is "Point Blank" (1997) In this one he plays a really, strung out cop on the edge. He drinks,smokes, and speaks in monotone. That's not the character, that's Rourke. He's unshaven and mumbles so much you can't hear what he's saying. He has one scene with James Avery (Uncle Phil from the "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air") that's just hilarious. You need subtitles. Just watch it for Rourke's non-performance. If he thought the character "Jack Bracken" was like this, this is an amazing performance begging for repeat viewings. I like Mickey Rourke. He is a excellent actor, with masterpieces like "Year of The Dragon " (1985), "Barfly" (1987), and "Pope of Greenwich Village" (1984). This is just a detour which he will eventually go on the right track.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

I dont get movies like this. It's just cable filler. Dull scene after dull scene and a lot of bad acting. Oh man. Rourke needs to be more picky with his choice of projects. He was one of the greats, once upon a time...

exceptional soundtrack i can say....for this film with Mickey playin' this guy -Jack- who's wife was accidently killed by a young man --Raymond Fry...now Raymond is out of jail (on parole) and the only thing he wants is peace of mind and to see his little son.But Jack's life is ruined after his wife's death...he is an alcoholic, drug addicted detective and he wants to get even for his loss...So, he follows Ray and gives him a hard time. Raymond finds a good friend who offers him a job with good money (for an ex-con). Everything seems to go fine (except from Jack never leaving him alone..) for Ray, that has a good heart and he is a decent and straight person. But things go wrong with his friend and his friend's wife....the situation becomes messy and Ray gets into the eye of the cyclone...Great, sunny atmosphere, beautiful colors and scenery, a lot of classic "Mickey attitude" that will satisfy his fans, some action and romance.RECOMMENDED!
