WRASSLE

I don’t
kill myself
because of
my dogs – just like
Mickey Rourke who
felt much the
same way – or there’d be
no one to
feed them and
no one to
love them and
no one to
walk them and
no one to
brush them and
no one to
tease them and
no one to
pet them and
no one to
clean up
their
poop.

Rental Review: Bullet

By Ryn Gargulinski
Excellent depiction of Coney Island, bloody eyeballs, a NYC graffiti artist and the stereotypical Jewish family with a couple of sons gone bad but the characters are annoying as hell.

We get Mickey Rourke with a stupid skull cap who just got out of prison with a massive heroin habit, his older brother who went schizo and thinks every day is Vietnam, a spineless yet talented younger sibling who you feel like slapping silly, an Italian stallion type who denies he is bordering on homosexuality and finds no qualms about driving around in a pink car and a one-eyed drug king who cruises town in his limo and wants to blow everyone away.

Yes, it’s a very fine and dandy mix of folks with a lot of potential but there’s one problem. We don’t like any of them.

Highlight: The bowels of New York backdrop.
Lowlight: The bowels of humanity characters.
Rating (1-10): 3.57
