An absolute mess, extremely overrated

Rating: Null/10 (20 August 2016)

It bewilders me why this film has received acclaim and is included in the list as one of the best movies ever made in IMDb. In reality it is one of the WORST movies ever made.
There have been some great and artistic movies made that illustrate some sad and harsh realities of the world, this movie is definitely not one of them. One of the main messages is the illusions and hallucinations people experience due to drugs. The only one developed sufficiently enough is Ellen Burstyn who imagines she is on a game show and her acting is very good. The other dreams are shambles, this uninspired film follows the lives of 3 junkies trying to make a score. It really conveys nothing and is extremely dull, your trip to the supermarket was probably more meaningful and eventful.
The hallucinations for Jared Leto are barely developed to ascertain the concept of a dream or illusion nor is the illusion of Marlon Wayans. This movie is an absolute and utter waste of time, it is beyond comprehension how such a piece of worthlessness has this rating. If anything, it proves you cannot always trust critics. The shallow plot and mundane story goes nowhere, it is empty and pointless. I have given it a 1 because it is absolutely awful, shame it couldn't be a big fat 0.
