REVIEW: HOMEBOY
08/30/09
Academy Award® nominee and
Golden Globe® winner Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Best
Actor, 2008) and Academy Award® winner Christopher Walken
(The Deer Hunter, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1978)
star in Homeboy, a dramatic tale about a washed up boxer who
agrees to climb in the ring one more time for the big fight
of his life. Available for the first time on DVD, the film
has been newly remastered for a widescreen presentation and
features an original score by legendary musician Eric
Clapton. Homeboy punches its way into stores on September 1,
2009.
Johnny Walker (Rourke) is a
punch-drunk, alcoholic boxer whose best days are behind him.
In an effort to raise money for his girlfriend’s financially
troubled arcade, he considers an offer to take part in a
heist of a jewelry store from Wesley Pendergrass (Walken), a
promoter and smooth-talking hood. However, Johnny is tempted
back into the ring by a large prize payout, even though a
blow to his fractured temple bone could kill him.
