I enjoyed this one. I don't think Mickey likes such action movies much. He had made negative comments about this movie but hey, there are WORSE action movies around and this one ain't that bad. At least it wasn't all brawns and no brains (it all depends, really, on who's acting in it. I won't mention names) Don Johnson was great as Marlboro and Mickey was hilarious as Harley. At first he was all cool and macho, punching out the two robbers at the gas station with such ease. But as you watch on, he becomes this harmless, bumbling guy with a heart and lotsa loyalty. Marlboro on the other hand is the wise leader, like a big brother to Harley and always sprouting philosophies that begin with "My old man used to say before he left this shitty world..."

The two of them together juz cracks me up.

WHEN THE GOING GETS TOUGH... THE TOUGH TAKE THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS.

Renegade actor Mickey Rourke (Desperate Hours) and the explosively talented Don Johnson (Paradise, "Miami Vice") erupt with no-holds-barred action and off-beat humor as tough but compassionate motorcycle "Robin Hoods." Staging a bank robbery to help a friend, they find themselves instead fighting their way out of a volatile multi-million dollar drug swindle and a lethal manhunt.

In the lawless world of 1996, drifters Harley Davidson (Rourke) and The Marlboro Man (Johnson) help an old friend save his bar by robbing the very bank trying to take over the property. But this is no ordinary bank and the armored car is filled with drugs, not money. Now Rourke and Johnson become the objects of a ruthless manhunt by the corrupt bank chieftain's deadly and unstoppable henchman.

High-speed motorcycles, exploding action and state-of-the-art weaponry form a deadly combination in this futuristic adventure film, directed by Simon Wincer (Quigley Down Under, Emmy winner for "Lonesome Dove").
