This movie is an earthquake, this is like a shotgun against your head and one of the most powerful experiences cinema can give you!!!

Rating: 9/10 (10 September 2004)

Watching this movie is an experience which you will not likely forget! I didn't know the movie, but a friend of mine who occasionally smoked weed before, told me that he had never touched it again after watching the movie. This film had such in impact on him that he swore never to touch it again. I had to see this movie. I knew it would be something controversial, but nothing could prepare me for what I would see.
What is so special about it, you probably want to know? Well, first you get to know what seem to be rather normal people. OK, you see the son driving with his mom's TV set on a trolley through the streets, but that's about it. He needs some money and goes to a pawnshop with it. But than it all starts: you follow the different characters as they all get more and more addicted to something.
This movie makes you see what happens to people who are addicted to drugs, to pills, ... in such a way that you'll never forget about it. It is so shocking, yet so excellent!!! Even thinking about this movie sends shivers down my spine! The music, the way it was filmed, the acting... it all goes so fast, it sucks all the energy out of you. This movie is an earthquake, this is like a shotgun against your head. This is one of the most powerful experiences cinema can give you. I give it a 9/10.
