Tough Guys Don't Dance
1987
**
Director: Norman Mailer
Cast: Ryan O'Neal, Isabella Rossellini, Debra Sandlund, Wings Hauser
An alcoholic writer wakes up from a long binge and discovers a pool of blood. Norman Mailer directed his own novel and the result is a dull and confusing thriller which plays on several time levels, all of them equally uninteresting. A better cast could've helped a bit. There's some nice black humour, though.
