Why is this only #44?

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2002)

I just got through watching this movie. I rented it because i kept hearing people talk about it and i figured that i had to figure out what the hell everybody was talking about. I had to see for myself, to see if all of what i heard was for a good reason. And it was. I have never seen a film that was so relentless with it's attack on its audience. Darren Arnofsky(sp) is a brilliant director that doesn't pull a punch and won't let any members of his cast do so either. Addiction has never been captured on film like this before, and even though many will try to, i doubt that it will be again. I Put this movie in the same catogory as Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange. This is the type of film that you can't let sink into the backround, you can't talk with your friends while you watch this movie. In fact, it's probably best to not watch this movie with your friends. But, no matter how you watch it, it demands to be watched. It sucks you in and then pulls you out. A must see for anybody who truly loves movies. 10/10
