Pretty horrific but disappointing

Rating: 6/10 (16 August 2006)

I saw this movie after seeing the top 250 inclusion and the 8.5 rating and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed......as horrific as the movie is and as aware as it makes you about drug abuse and its effects...I would not necessarily recommend this movie to someone looking for a good one and a half hour of entertainment.If you are into moralistic movies and such then this might be for you.Otherwise there are a lot of better options.Though Jennifer Connelly fans might really like this movie for her young - "I just lost my virginity" look. ON the whole: Story - 7/10 Acting - 9.5/10 Rewatchability - 2/10 Overall entertainment value - 5/10
