This represents the last bit of the noir section in the uppermost part of my queue. From the golden year o' 1987, this has Mickey Rourke (Marv from Sin City) as a private eye whose services are retained my Robert De Niro. Rob just managed to edge out Jack Nicholson for this role.
Mickey attempts to track down a motherfucker for Rob. In the true spirit of '80s RPGs, he has to backtrack thru eight hundred million flaming, spiked, gonorrhea puss-covered hoops to do it, though. To complicate matters, the people Mickey tries to talk to keep fucking dying.
Angel Heart has Mickey at his Hollywood apex. He does manage to carry the film, though, & give his character some depth that a lesser actor would've ignored.
Verdict : 3.5. Saw the ending coming from a mile away.
