An Unsatisfying Look at Rourke's "Lesser Years"
M_Cobretti7 March 2006
A friend of mine got a tape of this program from France. It's in Polish with bad subtitles and focuses on a portion of Mick's life while filming one of his 90's disasters. At the time I saw it, I felt so bad for the guy because his career seemed over. Now I'm sure I wouldn't feel so bad, but I doubt it would make the doc any better. They basically just follow him around as he sleeps his way through the filming of a totally forgettable movie and wrestles with the lingering thoughts of being a boxer. Thing is, it seems like he's basically decided not to be a boxer by the time this doc came out, so the title of the movie seems misplaced. Maybe if they had have shot this thing 8 years ago it would have made for an interesting idea - but not in 1996.
