Someone at the time of this movie's release cited this Alan Parker picture as "Raymond Chandler meets THE EXORCIST". Very simplistic and unfortunately chides this movie as something it really isn't, but it works.
In this film-noir mystery tale of murder and supernaturalism in 1955, Mickey Rourke goes to work for Louise Cypher (Robert DeNiro) in looking for a missing singer named Johnny Favorite.
Really good cinematography with Rourke going gravy in a memorable way in this story that utlimately reveals itself to be based on the ancient storytelling device about accountability, and the futility of running away from it. Of course, those that haven't seen the film, just look at DeNiro's character name, and just realize whats really going on...
