Its one of those films that get swept under, its way better than 50 shades of grey , 50 shades writer probably got her idea from that movie and book. but Rourke and Basinger chemistry was legit believable, the scene where she finally breaks was tough to watch, and the ending too she had enough and he finally reveals his background and family life but its too little to late. Slave to love by bryan ferry is a classic
Rourke was a stud in that movie, its a shame he hated his good looks and destroyed them on purpose. He was also good in Year of the Dragon I think he was only 29 and played a 60 year old detective.
