A "colorful" bit of cinema, to say the least. Loving portraits of life among the down, out, and drunk are few and far between, so I guess it gets points for that. If Bukowski is your idea of a good time, you just might enjoy yourself with this one (and I must admit it has its moments of weird appeal). Others might be less enchanted. Oh, yeah, and Mickey Rourke in the role of a drunken loser? Fit like a glove--but you already knew that.
