Has there ever been a more unsympathetic "hero" than Mickey Rourke's racist, Vietnam vet turned renegade cop, Stanley White? Is "Black Rain" unofficial dudes rock cinema? Can Michael Douglas play a bad boy? How hard does Jan de Bont go in "Black Rain?" Are you even boys if you don't call each other "babe?" Is this fucking Vietnam all over again?! There's only one place to find out...
