September 4, 1991 -- While ``Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man'' has some production polish, it lacks any kind of credible story line. The story concerns a couple of good old boys in the title roles played by Mickey Rourke and Don Johnson, who band together with some friends to rob a bank to help pay the lease on their favorite bar.

They end up tangling not with the police, but with drug-dealing bankers (shades of the BCCI scandal). All of their friends get killed in the process, but since these two guys are indestructible they escape to exact their vengeance on the bad guys, all the while worrying about their own mid life crises.

A lot of blood is shed in this film for no particular reason. These guys are still hanging on to the so-called bar lease money long after the bar owner and all of their buddies have been killed.

Rourke and Johnson are likable enough but they need something more to do than than hang out and act tough. These guys are better than that. This movie rates a D.
