BUFFALO 66 (1998)


I found my way to watching buffalo 66 while looking for a couple movies to put into my back pocket for my weekend watching hours, picked something else then it resurfaced while perusing through mickey rourke's roster (since he plays a small role in this one)
Without any prior watching experience or opinion on Gallo, I went away with this movie enamored, yes the feeling of absolute self asborption is present even without prior research, but what stole me with this one is the reverse stock film contrast (making those couple indy art hausy tap dancing and sinatra singing scenes just alittle more pop) Appreciate the hometowney look in this movie, filmed in buffalo in the winter time which holds a special feel for me in my heart and it is obvious and comes through that clearly it does for Gallo himself
Sorry to read about Christiana Ricci's disappointments post-production but overall can never pass up a movie with her in the forefront, respect to her and glad she pulled through making this film what it was. To me a true (self indulgent)romance despite the odds of the two

Would recommend for the fellow ignorants as I waltzed in and out of this movie taken away by its football denim saturation and conflicted controlling maniacal love buzz...

Tubi's official synopsis: "billy brown just got out of jail. now he's going to serve some real time. he's going home."





TW verbal abuse by controlling men toward conceptual significant other, neglect/abandonment in the concept of parents/child, eluded murder of dog
