I saw this when it came out in the 80's. I was about 12. Just about the age when I thought Matt Dillion and Mickey Rourke where as cool as can be. Their tough-guy characters in this movie was awesome to 12 year old me. Didn't really care about the story, just the cool factor.
Saw it again this year since it was Amazon Prime. I was excited to experience these characters again. And the black-and-white photography made it badass.
Well, it did NOT stand the test of time. Now an adult, these guys seem silly. The fights are ridiculous and the dialogue is weak. I still don't really get the story, nor why this was even made.
I'm glad I saw it "back in the day" when I enjoyed it. I can understand how others enjoy and the look and feel of this movie. It just doesn't do it for me as an adult.
