Scott Tobias The Dissolve The eventual victory of Rourke and Johnson's characters isn't a victory for individuality, but a triumph for brand loyalty. Rated: 2.5/5 May 18, 2015 Full Review Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: C+ Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 1/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …a lightweight, derivative star vehicle that benefits from two personable leads doing their mega-star thing… Rated: 3/5 Aug 13, 2023 Full Review Kiko Vega Espinof A cult classic that remains as extraordinary as it did upon release. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: 4.5/5 May 17, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The tone is tongue-in-cheek, taking the violence and excitement with little sincerity.

Marshall B Hits every kind of note I'd want from one of these kind of movies. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/24 Full Review Jesse G One of the best movies of my youth. The coolest cast in movie history. Started my love of motorcycles Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/02/24 Full Review Dumont W This a movie that should have never been made but it's awesome and takes me back to a time... Phile it cowards. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/21/24 Full Review Glenn G Other than the language at times I loved the movie. Both these guys go together like ketchup and mustard and the acting is really good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/24 Full Review Anthony J Both the leads who had bigger success earlier in their careers, are trying for 'cool'; women, fights, insouciance. Dig us! That's all there is. Plot? Ludicrous. A waste of an hour and 36 minutes. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review Parker D I think this is a unique film because it takes place in the west of America and it bassically combines motorcycle biker dude stuff in Las Vegas, Arizona, New Mexico and salons, and other western stuff like cowboys with action and ones that look Ridley Scott/ tony Scott style filmed this is a movie only people that are biker dudes in leather jacket and smoking cigarets and cigars and who live in the west coast of United States and drink beer in bars and form tough biker gangs would find a masterpiece and a work of art but as a movie itself it is average as critics would find it as the reception upon release was very average and though this was released in 1991 the beginning of the 90s and end of the 80s where I believe motorcycle leather jacket and motorcycle riding cowboy Motörhead music listeners were very popular this film itself was a box offfice flop resulting of how it's mentioned as a flop but just because this movie flopped wich it did only box office money making wise doesn't mean the movie was an actual disaster or train wreck of a film it wasn't and isn't majority would think this as an ok film admitting it has some really cool motorcycle chase scenes and even well filmed action shootouts and it represents the culture of motorcycle jacket gangs and life of the west coast near Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and eve west of Texas mickey rourke looks perfect for a role of a tough biker dude and though of course he wasn't trying to get Oscar nominated and Oscar's wouldn't nominate actors that play a motorcycle biker dude from the west he did give a decent performance after all he is supposed to act tough and have a personality of a biker and leather jacket dude that would listen to Motörhead style biker metal music he definetly has to have tried even though he did this for money it must have been that the studio at the time payed him to star as a motorcycle dude named Harley Davidson making friends and teaming with a cowboy dressed dude named as the Marlboro man played by don johnson who is also decent here the movie has a lot of style than substance but somewhere there is a story though this movie is made as entertainment movies to just enjoy for the action and the lion of its locations and making you feel like you are in the towns of the west coast where there are bars and plains and of course alot of motorcycle dudes this in my opinion is one of Mickey rourkes better films if not his very best or critically acclaimed like the wrestler wich was his only performance that would get Oscar nominated before he was probably an actor that does movies for financial reasons anyhow it's still one of my favorite movies of his next to barfly, year of the dragon, the pope of Greenwich village, angel heart, rumble fish, body heat, sin city, and the wrestler it is definetly a movie to watch for fans of motorcycle, leather jacket dude and western city bars and smoking style and culture the movie is just ok but a good film for entertainment and relaxation critics would give this a rather respectable five but I personally would give this a seven out of ten it's watchable and very enjoyable and a perfect example of watching a movie about culture and population of western Barr and smoking motorcycle leather jacket dude culture this is probably the best one about that stufff especially since I don't see many movies that depict this stuff still its not a perfect film that has a great script. But it's still a good movie in its own way and I definetly reccomend it 7.5/10 🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🏍🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬🚬 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/22 Full Review Read all reviews
