Spoiler: Worst piece of cr@p ever

Rating: 1/10 (2 October 2013)

The only thing good about this film was the cinematography. It reminded me of writings by Jerzy Kozinski who committed suicide at 57, understandably, because he clearly hated life as witnessed by the cr@p that HE wrote. (Hey, this is MY opinion, you can have a different opinion, that's fine with me.) Why Ellen Burstyn acted in this movie is beyond me, she must have needed the money. The portrayals of the drug addicts was a tad too 'black and white' and life is NEVER b/w. As for the portrayals of the medical staff and the police, I don't buy it. I notice they did the 'usual thang' and make the SOUTHERNER doctors/jailers/police the 'bad' ones. Typical. Are there bad doctors, medical staff, jailers and police? Sure, but not as often as 'movie/tv makers' would have you believe. Also, the drug addicts were portrayed more as 'victims' then as 'self annihilators'. The only character I felt sorry for was Ellen Burstyn's. I am thankful I was working on my website when this cr@p was on Amazon Instant Video or I wouldn't have watched it past the first five minutes. UGH is the 'key word' to describe this. The only response I have for this garbage getting an 'award nomination' is DISDAIN.
