I never thought of Rourke as poignant so I would have to disagree.

I was reminded of what I liked about Rourke from his early career (especially "Diner' and 'Body Heat"); that he played a vulnerable, flawed misfit. His character was the same, but with the wreckage of many years of self destructive behavior under his belt. His performance actually reminded me of Karloff's monster; low key, naturalistic, and and so sincere as to become almost unbelievable.
