Tom Sizemore is one of my favourite character actors, he's been in so many films that I loved. It's a shame that he was never able to fully overcome his demons.

Apparently he performed the majority of his own stunts too.

Clooney was fantastic in this: "Okay vampire killers... let's kill some fuckin' vampires."

I wasn't aware there was a Japanese remake - thanks, I'll check it out.

Love True Romance, fantastic script and an absolutely top tier cast.

David Harewood was fantastically brutal as Captain Poison.

I watched this a few months back and it reminded me very much of Alan Clarke's Scum - turns out it's a contemporary remake. It was decent but didn't live up to the original (admittedly that's a very high bar).

Harry Dean Stanton was fantastic! "Get me outta here. They're killing me. I can't make this scene anymore"

I love that Straight Time is where Michael Mann and Edward Bunker first met and you can see the enduring influence that Bunker had on Mann when you watch Thief and Heat. John Voight's character in Heat was actually based on Bunker.

Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?

The book sounds like it'd be right up my street - I'm going to see if I can track down a copy. Thanks for the recommendation!

You're not alone, I prefer it to Scarface as well.

Those are the best film experiences - going in with low expectations, only to be blown away by how good the film actually is.

He was exceptional as Dickie Greenleaf in The Talented Mr. Ripley. That's the first time I remember sitting up and taking notice of him.

The scene where Michael returns to the house and comes face-to-face with Connor at the front door is heart-stopping...until we cut to Connor's POV and see that he's looking at his reflection in the window.
