Solid

Rating: 7/10 (24 September 2001)

Solid acting and storytelling. Done without moralizing or judgement. The character of George Jung is laid out with his charm, talents and faults and lets you draw the conclusions. It also does not glamorize the drug world. Everything good in George Jung's life is eventually destroyed by his addictive lifestyle. He ends up a somewhat broken and lonely prison inmate.
If you can, see this film on DVD. The extra features are revealing. Including an interview with the real life George Jung and interviews of the supporting cast (done in character) about they're thoughts and impressions of George Jung. They are hilarious.
