Emily H. This movie didn’t catch my attention. It was kind of boring but did love the black and white vibe. I also loved Matt Dillon and Diane lane being together. Any movie they’re in together is automatically better. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/04/25 Full Review Kaleigh M Thought this was gonna be better than it was, I was disappointed in it as it wasn't really like it was in the book. I love you matt dillon but this movie SUCKED HARD DICK. Half of the time I don't even know what was going on. The shots weren't bad nor the black and white wasn't a bad idea. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/02/25 Full Review Stephen C 1 hour and 34 minutes of drama, based on the novel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/27/25 Full Review Mason M Rumble Fish could easily be labeled as cryptic or pretentious, but an experienced director like Francis Ford Coppola brings this film plenty of life. This picture was one of Coppola's most beautiful efforts visually, full of stunning smoke filled black and white imagery that brings out both the beautiful and the ugly in the everyday world. This film was also very interesting emotionally, making a melancholic atmosphere that could've been dry but was strangely emotional. And Matt Dillon gives a great performance as the main character who never exactly gets what's really going on. My only complaint about this film was that Stewart Copeland's score often sets the wrong tone for this dark and emotional film. But Coppola overall brings an emotional look on the confusion of being a teenager. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/19/25 Full Review Leprechaun K Coppola's experimental movie is the avant-garde version of The Outsiders. Stars a young Rourke that steals every scene. The score was also an interesting choice. A good effort by Coppola to give the audience something different and new. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/06/25 Full Review Audience Member Ya just gotta know what you’re getting into! Yes, it is an homage to French New Wave cinema - it watches like a sequel to “Breathless”. SE Hinton’s gritty YA novels were the male dirty white trash answer to Judy Blume, and they resonated deeply with me and my generation. This is a harder R than I remember, although a number of 80s films from my youth are that way. Younger versions of Matt Dillon, Diane Lane, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Penn, Nicolas Cage are incredible to watch decades later. If you thought Mickey Rourke was a cool cat in “Diner”, wait until you rewatch this - you’ll remember what the fuss was all about.
