I thought that it was good but not great, but that Mickey Rourke's superlative performance was incredible (although I still would give the Oscar to Sean Penn for Milk). I didn't like the hand-held camera technique, but it didn't bother me in this film as much as in most films. Kudos to the filmmakers for not taking the easy way out of some uncomfortable situations. I thought Rourke carved up the screen while Penn relied on sentimentality
