Amazing

Rating: 10/10 (20 June 2003)

This film is amazing in every way.
One thing that I like about this movie, is it does not discriminate between addictions - a heroin addiction is just as bad a pill-popping addiction. This tells use the harsh nature of addiction - and like it or not - most of us have something we are addicted too.
Particulary with drugs, the ending result of addiction is always the same - death. That is unless the user starts the road down to recovery in which life will be prolonged extensively.
The power of denial is also amazing in this film. Most characters saw their form of substance abuse as a caveat to a lifestyle change. Well it worked - negatively.
I think that people who did not enjoy this movie most likely have never known anyone that was addicted to something (be it food, sex, alcohol, drugs, the internet, coffee, smoking, etc) and really dealt with them to see how nasty addiction is.
10/10.
