From Chris: Kind of a wild home-invasion thriller from director Michael Cimino  and starring a powerhouse cast for its day, including Mickey Rourke,  Anthony Hopkins, Mimi Rogers and Kelly Lynch. Also includes a ton of  ensemble actors who would later become more famous like David Morse.  Completely funny how Kelly Lynch's breasts pop out in several different  scenes for almost no reason in an otherwise serious and bloody thriller.

This is a movie I probably would have  loved if I had caught it early in life, but this is the first time I've  seen Desperate Hours. Compelling first hour dominated by Mickey Rourke's  deranged criminal devolves into a messy final act of violence and  uneven performances from the supporting cast. What started out as a  slick, almost noir film becomes a cheesy overload of carnage and action.

One  of the better MGM transfers put out by MVD. It's a newish scan from the  negative in good condition. Slight EE but nothing egregiously poor.  Fine detail and definition for a 1990 production.
