The Last Days Of Frankie The Fly |
| 1997 | |

| So
whaddya get when you put Dennis Hopper, Darryl Hannah, Michael Madsen, and Kiefer
Sutherland in a mob comedy-drama? The Last Days of Frankie the Fly. The title character,
played by Hopper, is a kind of zhlub (Yiddish for semi-putz. Oops, that's also Yiddish.
Well, you know, a sort of nebbish. Is that Yiddish also? OK. Sorry. A meek guy who doesn't
do much. How's that?) who's the gofer for local small time mob boss Sal, played by Michael
Madsen in another of his smarmy nasty roles. Madsen's type casting does him proud, but it's interesting to see Hopper cast somewhat against type as a meek guy. Now add in the mix Darryl Hannah as a porn actress (OK, she's not the greatest actress in the world, but she's actually OK here) and Kiefer Sutherland as a porn movie "director" (an NYU Film School graduate, no less), and there's your recipe for...well, not disaster really, but a relatively enjoyable little crime drama that confines its action to romance, murder, torture, and humiliation, rather than tackle the big issues like corruption and desperation. Hopper falls in love with Hannah, who's a lot more intelligent than the typical porn actress, constantly berated by Sutherland, who's a gambling addict, in hock to Sal (Madsen) to the tune of more than 100 G's. Hopper agrees to place some bets for Sutherland at the track provided that Hopper can write and direct a film for Hannah. Sal complicates things by being brutal and nasty, ably abetted by his henchman Vic, played by Damon Callie, who also wrote the script. Michael Madsen, Kiefer Sutherland, Daryl Hannah, and Dennis Hopper |
