Homeboy

Movie info

Synopsis

Johnny Walker (MICKEY ROURKE) is a battered, burned-out small-time boxer with no future. As he hopelessly falls in love with Ruby (DEBRA FEUER), he is also befriended by a narcissistic, two-bit hoodlum (CHRISTOPHER WALKEN), which completes the doomed triangle. A rainy and insightful take on the dark edges of Americana.

Homeboy is a beautiful 'old fashioned' tale of love, shame and desire accentuated with superb performances from Mickey Rourke and Christopher Walken.
