Eine Nacht in L.A.

I don't know how much scenes of the movie have been cut in the German TV version. While decided going to bed, I zapped around a little... and: baboom! I watched the whole movie. It's one of the movies I could watch over and over again.

First impression was, that the movie was a mixture of "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" (surreal), "U-Turn", a litle bit "sore loosers" and movies like that. It's a very idependent film and everybody who likes strange films with very good acting combined with a strange story, drug abuse and so on... should love this movie.

Personally, I ordered it the next day I saw it on TV.

"Out in Fifty" stars Mickey Rourke as a grizzled burnout bent on revenge. The story is pure stupidity something about a guy killing a girl on a bed, but who cares right? The main guy is pretty cool but his friend who gets him a job supplies the humor. Remember Mickey in Barfly? He rocked ! Here he is just classic tough guy funny. Watch it for GRIZZLED BURNT- OUTNESS !

Let's face it, Out in Fifty is just a movie to kill time watching (but aren't they all?). That said, Scott Leet did an excellent job with his role. The guy's got real star presence. With a little luck Leet will get a break in a first-tier film and make it big. Hey, if a limited-talent like Vin Diesel can make it, why can't a more-talented Leet?

Here we have the basic formula for a revenge story. Mickey Rourke stars as cop whose wife is accidentally killed one evening whilst entertaining a strange young man. He then starts stalking the convict on his release.....which leads to Rourke's lust for revenge. Had the story been this straight forward on screen then it surely would've bored me to tears, but the films eccentric characters and the complex relationships within the film carry it completely. Balthazar Getty makes a cameo as a whacked out pimp/motel owner Overall well worth a look.

It's unlikely you'll see Rourke in a low budget movie again, since his career has taken off again (finally), so check this out if your a fan.

It looked pretty cheap on the DVD but I gave it a chance as it's got Mickey Rourke in it. The film itself is obviously a low budget independent film but it didn't turn out as bad as I expected, I have seen a lot worse films (Troll 2, Birdemic, Skyline) and compared to them, this one is pretty good.

Mickey Rourke gave a good performance as a alcoholic cop who wants revenge on a man who gets released from prison for the murder of Rourke's wife.

A little dark and at times tries to act like a Tarantino films, especially at the intro. If you can pass some of the mediocre performances by some people, then you won't mind watching this at least once. I'm glad I got this one cheap, not the best film ever but not as awful as people say.
