Prayer for the dying

Terrible movie about Rourke as an IRA man who's had enough. He flees to England and gets caught up with a criminal funeral-home gang! The priest Hoskins witnesses the murder and his blind niece gets involved with Rourke. It's crap, really bad stuff from the director of Get Carter. Davis gives the worst performance ever of a blind girl. Heavy symbolism, a spaghetti-Western music score, miscasting, and bland English villains - this movie is just woeful.
