A stunning depiction of life.

Rating: 10/10 (4 June 2004)

This movie is an example of the grim effects that drugs will have on your life and the price that you'll pay to keep up a addiction that does more harm to your life than good. If you would like to movies that show this from another point of view I would recommend Blow even though it doesn't show the depressing effects of such substances but it does show that drug dealers always have an up and a down in their lifes and that they could be on top of the world for one minute and be double crossed the next. But in this movie there is also an up and a down for these three people but the down is shown to be more graphic and depressing then in the other movie and it shows that a person will show there true face when you can't help them or when your in trouble. In this movie the lead roles are played by people that did a magnificent job and they showed the raw emotions that are displayed when you are on a binge and the effects it has on your every day life. As I try to do in all of my reviews I like to point out if this movie is appropriate for you. In this movie there is pervasive depictions of drugs use and graphic sexuality and rather strong language so if you are one of those sensitive types I highly recommend that you do not view this movie but if your not this is a very well done movie.
