    Rourke is f*cking awesome. He owned the scream in the wrestler. This will probably be good.

    The fake killerman needs to go away! He is not amusing at all.

    Mickey Rourke is the king. Although he did get his ass kicked, Double Team was my favorite, with him in it. You guys are talking about Brokeback Mountain. But my mind is still on this Jason Richman, who was apart of the disastrous Bangkok Dangerous.

    Now all I will think of when I see Broken Horses is Brokeback Mountain. Rourke should do a great job.

    It's a gangster film, but I'm sorry, all I could think of when I read the title was Brokeback Mountain...seriously

    Anyways, Rourke as a gangster should be interesting, as will his take on the Crimson Dynamo
