A Prayer for the Dying

Slow paced and dialogue based. Mickey spoke with the Irish accent that made his words quite hard to catch... maybe it's because I'm not used to it. As always, Mickey's character dies at the end. This one was rather poignant though. It was about the only scene from this movie that stayed in my mind even after so long... the way he clung onto the statue...

Oh, there's one more scene I can't forget. After Martin and the blind girl...ahem (you know what), she was sobbing and saying how she wish she can see him. Yeah man, THAT'S her DAMN GREAT LOSS!

Movie Quotes

Sorry! I've yet to do my homework on this. Actually not much chance for me to do anything bcuz I've only seen this movie once on TV and I didn't videotape it. And there's no way I'll find this in our local video rental stores.
