MOVIE REVIEW: Rumble Fish

Rumble Fish
Rumble Fish ~ 1/5
 
Here is the description from www.netflix.com:
1983 R 94 minutes
In Francis Ford Coppola's black-and-white adaptation of the S.E. Hinton novel, Rusty James (Matt Dillon) is the leader of a small, dying gang once led by his now-absent brother, Motorcycle Boy (Mickey Rourke). When Rusty is injured in a gang fight, his brother returns to their sad, industrial town to help. Despite this, Rusty continues on his path of self-destruction, damaging his relationships with his girlfriend (Diane Lane) and friends.
 
My thoughts:
I expected more from an SE Hinton novel, this movie didn't keep my interest. I attempted twice to watch it, but both times I fell asleep. Not enough interest to get me hooked I guess.
