This was a party that I would have loved to have been at!

If you want a behind the scenes access pass to how partying really is, then this is it. I have been to a few places that remind me of how this movie goes down. There is the fun and games, and women, like the film displays, and then there are the scary as hell scenes like the one where George is shot. I think that this movie is really accurate when it shows the that you can get caught up in the lure of easy money, and the fun and friends that entails. However there is the dark side of this lifestyle, and when it rears its ugly head, it can get really scary, really fast. When I was in my early twenties I had an experience similiar to the one where George has a gun stuck in his mouth and almost cost him his life. Drug dealing is the lure of the excitement, not the money. That part is the one that Hollywood usually leaves out. Don't expect the movie to be a bold statement of the wrongs, because Mr. Jung doesn't really think that he has done anything too too bad. Enjoy the music and Depp's acting. For all of the critics that complain that the movie doesn't relate the costs that Jung has given America in the aspect of addicted users, I say, again, if there wasn't a buyer then there wouldn't be a seller. Marketplace economics. ;0
