Love letter to a drug dealer?
I love gangster movies like Scarface and The Godfather, and Johnny Deep is clearly one of our best actors, so this movie looked like a winner. Boy was I wrong. Badly written, badly directed, and completely misguided. Nothing happens in this movie except an unappealing scumbag drug dealer gets arrested over and over. Why should we care? How this man's story ever got told is a mystery to me. It's like Hollywood wanted to make a eulogy to their favorite drug dealer. We even get a loving picture of the real man at the end. Sigh. Really, I wasn't offended by this film, I just found it incredibly BORING. ... leave this dog on the shelf.
