So overrated

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2002)

This film is awful. Why it got so popular is beyond me. Oh goody, yet another boring film about drugs. Yet to be fair it's not quite as bad as Fear and Loathing in Las Vagas, which was boring, overlong and pretentious. This film was neither funny nor interesting nor even disturbing. I found it to be pathetic and self-pitying in the way it tries it portray the 'real' effects of drug abuse, as if we didn't know already! Wow a film about a group of junkies' shooting up, how original! If I want to see that I can easily go down a dark alley in London, it would probably be infinately more intresting than this pile of rubbish! To see a real drugs film checkout Drugstore cowboy or the basketball Diaries. Films which feature real actors and plot, without trying to be cool and trendy.
