Dated, redundant, yet still somewhat interesting sexual drama that pits the young, good looking Mickey Rourke
against the young and even prettier Kim Basinger. The film rolls by without much emotion, tension or resolution,
but does feature a solid performance by Mickey and some of the most graphic sex scenes between two stars in
a Hollywood picture. The shock and outrage that people expressed when this movie was first released was now
replaced with a "been there, seen that" kind of feeling for me. The soundtrack sucks (except for Brian Ferry's
"Slave to Love" and the sex with food song), the direction is standard, and the story line blows chunks, but still,
the nostalgia factor and Mickey Rourke acting, well, like Mickey Rourke, still managed to keep this film afloat the
recommendable area. Also, if you're into Kim Basinger in any which way, shape or form, check this piece of tape
out, 'cause God knows there are plenty of "provocative" shots in there to keep you busy during those long and
lonely winter nights.

Overall, the film's plot is jammed with sex, some small talk about sex, kinky sex, some sadomasochistic undertones
with a touch of control and misogyny, and even kinkier sex. If you're into any of that stuff, cheezy '80's soundtracks,
Mickey Rourke's younger days, or even Kim Basinger's rack, I suggest you walk into your local video store and
lease this Johnson for an evening. If not, your life will not change, but you can still catch an early acting coup by
Mickey Rourke.
