Dark, depressing, and haunting

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2009)

This is one of the most amazing movies I have ever seen in a long time. I never cry in movies, but I almost cried at the very end.
The acting in this movie was fantastic. Marlon Wayans blew my expectations away, I have to say this is his best performance, where he's not doing his usual "crazy black guy" talk. Jennifer Connelly, Ellen Burstyn, and Jared Leto were excellent also.
Overall, this movie isn't for every taste. If you are someone who enjoys life and loves feel-good movies, then don't watch this because nothing in this movie is uplifting, or if you have no problem with dark and depressing movies, then I'm sure you can handle this. If you're someone who is depressed and needs some perspective, then you need to watch this movie.
This movie is one that shows the dark side of using drugs and the affect it has on your life.
