Review of Homeboy

Cute little movie about love and ordinary people with big wishes and high hopes. The music is hunting in a way that most of the time it blends with the pictures and gets a part of it, so it's there but it's like you don't hear it. The pace is slow but the fine cinematography somehow makes it up. Casting is the best part. Both Rourke and Walken and also Feuer are believable, Walken(Wesley) as some kind of sophisticated jerk with a good heart who has always some wise quotes in his pocket and Rourke(Johnny) with his silent manner and strange stares, and Feuer(Ruby) with her innocence and sense of responsibility towards what she inherited from her grandfather. However, wanted to know more about Wesley. Looked like some of his scenes were edited and cut in some parts, the one he sings in and also the way he meets his fate in the end, even the things about his relationships with women or even men(?).

Takes some time to get used to the atmosphere but when it happens you can't stop wanting more and more of it.
