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

I rented this after finding out that it was written by Dayton Callie, who plays Charlie Utter, my favorite character in David Milch's superb HBO series Deadwood. I wasn't sure what to expect, since I had never heard of the film...and after the first 10 minutes I thought I was going to hate it. It started out rather slowly and the dialog seemed a little stiff. However, I stuck with it and was glad I did! The story is really kind of sweet and well-written.Dennis Hopper plays bullied mob flunky, Frankie, who is nicknamed "The Fly" because, as hit-man Vic (played by Dayton Callie) teases, "Flys eat sh*t!" And it appears likely that Frankie would do just that if told to do so by local wise-guy boss Sal (Madsen) -- Sal is a sadistic madman who keep his enemies' severed testicles in mason jars. Frankie seems to be almost happy with his sheepish role, until he falls for a porn actress and reformed junkie, Margaret (Darryl Hannah) and his life changes forever.So, rent this sweet and quirky film and see for yourself what happens as Frankie seeks to change his "fly" image for the girl he loves.

I think It is so Amazing how many movies Michael Madsen And Dennis Hopper have done togther, they are a good team up.Frankie The Fly was an amazing film, I am surprized that it dident make it to the theatre.In the future I hope to see these two actors in more movies togther.9/10

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.
