A veteran cast tears into the wonderfully creative script of "The Last Days of Frankie the Fly" and never lets up. Dennis Hopper plays against type as the mob "gofor", and his Frankie Fly is every bit as good as you might expect from such an under-appreciated talent. Michael Madsen is his intimidating self, and puts on a good show of the "nastys". Kiefer Sutherland resurrects what looks like his character from "Freeway", including the bandages and tears up the screen. Only Daryl Hannah is unremarkable as the porn star aspiring actress. Highly recommended both for the outstanding performances and clever script. Not to be missed. Rent, buy, borrow, but see it. - MERK

THE LAST DAYS OF FRANKIE THE FLY is an entertaining film . It`s by no means a classic but everyone plays their parts well enough especially Michael Madsen and I`m somewhat surprised as to why it went straight to video . Think about it for a moment if Martin Scorsese had directed this instead of Peter Markle it`d be called a brilliant romantic comedy thriller , and it does have an extremely Scorsese feel to it . Watch it and you`ll see what I mean

Is this a great movie? No. Is it a bad movie? No.Michael Madsen and his henchmen are the mob guys you love to hate. Daryl Hannah is very believable. I was quite impressed with Frankie's ability to pull off a complicated "job;" I didn't think he was smart enough, and he master minded the entire thing! I witnessed Kiefer Sutherland in a role like I've never seen him before (although he was rather annoying), and he played it very well! This movie is not as good as "Pulp Fiction," but it does have a little of that flavor.As other reviewers have said, this shows the seamier side of life. If you like that, rent it. Otherwise, I wouldn't recommend this movie. But if you like "all things quirky," DEFINITELY rent it.

The Last Days of Frankie the Fly is possibly the most overblown mess of a film produced this decade. Lacking coherent structure, decent acting, plot or direction, the whole thing rolls on for what seems like a lifetime whilst lurching from one shoddy scene to the next. Dennis Hopper acts against type but never convinces, Keifer Sutherland just shouts a lot (though he does get the best of what lines there are) and the rest of the cast look like they've stumbled onto the set and are looking for the fastest route out. Simply put, this film is a nightmare. Avoid.
