To the absolute extreme

Rating: 1/10 (23 June 2002)

I rented this movie yesterday based on the resounding and overwhelming appreciation it received from IMDB voters. I have to say that it did not live up to its billing. Everyone who commented on the movie has said it is "powerful" and "unique". I feel that the movie was very "obvious". The movie continually tried to showcase the dangers of drugs and abuse of drugs. They do not do this successfully however, because they go to these incredibly stupid extremes that are so overdone and unnecessary that it became disgusting to watch and no longer plausible or even believable. Anyone that truly liked this movie based on its content has serious problems. I knew exactly what was going to happen before it did. People who have drug addictions may go to great lengths to obtain the drugs but COME ON! The people in the film start acting like they are possessed by the devil himself and the end result of their drug addiction is the worst possible situation. I mean the WORST possible situation. The movie is not accurate nor is it appropriate. Stupid really. Thats all from Big V. 3/10.
