Brilliant, deep and provocative.

Rating: 10/10 (2 February 2001)

This movie works on so many levels. I must first say that I am proud of Jared Leto for taking after Brad Pitt and NOT using his looks to go in stupid teeny boppy movies. The cast was brilliant in this movie, I hope Ellen Burstyn gets an Oscar because she was fantastic. Now as for the directing, what can I say but magical. He set tones very effectively, he built us up then watched us fall. The camera work is so entertaining as well, all the little drug taking sequences are quite nice. What I loved most was, when I the movie was over and the lights came on, I turned and looked at the audience and saw that all these people's jaw's were dropped. They were stunned! Please watch this movie, show your kids as well, they won't want to touch drugs after they see it. 10!
