This movie is from 1987, and it is based on a
Norman Mailer book, it got terrible reviews, and many
people consider it to be appalling. In some ways it is, but I have to
say I still think it is one of the most entertaining movies I've ever
seen.
I
recently watched it again, and still found it enthralling. Yes the
acting is a bit odd, but compared to the limp, woke, turgid crap that
passes for movies these days, this is a work of sheer genius.
The
reviews are terrible, but ignore them, reviewers don't know shit from
chewed dates. And this movie is definitely chewed dates!
This review is quite entertaining really: https://film-authority.com/2021/03/24/tough-guys-dont-dance/
"Tough Guys Don’t Dance is trash, but it’s amusingly self-important
trash, a film that lays open the vanities and miscalculations of the
creative force behind it"
"For bad movie fans, it’s a masterpiece of
over-ripe dialogue, ridiculously melodramatic situations, and rabid,
macho posturing that curdles the moment it hits the screen. Over 30
years later, we’re still talking about Tough Guys Don’t Dance"
