Viewing Notes

After viewing U.S. Marshals I wanted to watch a RDJ film from his post-rehab comeback period. This movie was the beginning of his return yet he couldn’t be insured so Mel Gibson covered him. Ofc a few years later he would be cast as Tony Stark.

Directed by Keith Gordon, yes that Keith Gordon, this is an odd beast of a film. It’s not good but fascinating to watch. Heck of a cast, too. Reminded me of Shock Treatment.

RDJ is my most seen actor here (30) followed by Carla Gugino (!!).
