Let's open up a dialogue about this... Besides an award-winning performance by Rourke and nudity by Tomei, what am I missing? I can't decide whether to rent it or just take my chances and go straight for the purchase...

It's worth owning just to have Tomei's pierced B-cups around the house.

I'd never watch the entire movie again...kind of a downer, but good.
Kinda had a Leaving Las Vegas feel with lonely frack ups as the main characters.This was better imho.

Not sure if I would go that far. I do agree both are very good movies and both leave you feeling kinda hollow inside though.

The fact that wrestlers and strippers both whore their bodies out there for entertainment...and in the end you are left empty after the crowd dies down. The fake facade that creates a barrier between who others think you are and who you are.From Ram Jam...to some lonely guy sleeping in his van..From "Pam"...to some mother of a young boy just trying to make ends meet.Thought it was powerful.
