Hmmm…not exactly ‘Braveheart’ this time. More like ‘PettyThiefScumbag-Heart’
I mean, are we supposed to root for this guy? He’s as unlikeable as Gibson himself after his anti-Jewish/anti-female comments.
I actually found myself rooting for the “bad guys” to win. I mean, just on sheer “PRINCIPLE”, you know. Apparently, Porter’s idea of romance is to beat the woman you “love” savagely until she “realizes” what’s “good for her”. What a maggot.
I guess the problems of a wife-beating scumbag and the prostitute he used to pimp out don’t amount to a hill of beans in this cockamamie world…
1:24:00 – YAY!!! Errrr…is that wrong?
WAIT A MOMENT…this movie was different the first time I saw it. It had Kris Kristofferson and they beat the heck out of Porter. It was watchable then, cuz Kristofferson was the highlight. Now the ending is just plain non-existent. But at least it ends. I mean, D@MN…
