Brutal, honest, and a must see movie, 30 July 2001
Author:
tdao360 from Los Angeles, CA
This ranks up there as one of the three most powerful movies I have ever
seen in my lifetime (Full Metal Jacket and Grave of The Fireflies being
the
other two). This movie shows the brutal honest side of addiction and
over-indulgence. Not just drugs, although it heavily shows drug
addiction.
Also shows how one addiction can lead to another and how damaging it can
be
for you. I watched this alone, and felt so stunned afterwards, I had to
call a friend just to calm my nerves. Seriously, this is a brutal (one
more
time) BRUTAL film. The acting is wonderful - Ellyn Burnstyn and
Jenniffer
Connely are just wonderful in this movie, and Marlon Wayons was such a
shocker in a serious role. Everyone must watch it, for it's entertainment
value, and more importantly, it's educational value. But it leaves chills
down your spine for it's honesty and unforgiving lessons.
