Very intense movie.

Rating: 6/10 (3 August 2011)

When I first saw this movie, I was blown away. The plot was good, solid, harsh and intense. The movie revolves around four people, three heroin addicts and a woman so self conscious abut her appearance. They try to find there own version of happiness and everything starts going downhill for all of them.
The acting was well done, especially Ellen Burstyn. I think she should have gotten a Oscar for her role. However she was nominated for one. Jennifer Connelly, Jared Leto and Marlon Wayans were outstanding as the three friends trying to get buy in life.
I really liked the quality of the quality of the film. It was very well shot and well directed. But I thought the tone of the movie was just to much for me to stomach. I thought this movie went a little overboard on the drug use. So I do not like it enough to recommend it. It is a good film but I thought this film was to dark for my taste. So I give it a 6 out of 10.
