I'm not counting this for noir month, but it is weirdly fitting. Sort of at the intersection of film noir and horror. Not a great movie, but fun enough, with a strong performance by Mickey Rourke (back when he was still good looking).
I'm not exactly a big Alan Parker fan, he's kind of the poor man's Oliver Stone. Extremely over-the-top, but not always in a compelling way, and his movies I've seen that deal with more serious issue are actually kind of offensive. I like him a lot more when he sticks to weird, silly shit like this, where his full frontal assault style can be fun.
