Saw this today..finally..it lived up to all the expectations I had for it. I will note that the PQ was beyond abysmal and Im hoping it was just the theatre here and not the actual film.
I saw the IMDB site which said that Rourke wasn't one of the top options for the main role, they wanted Stallone or Nicolas Cage..I can't imagine this movie with either of them though.
My one small gripe was that I couldnt buy Ernest Miller as the Ayatollah.
