WOw I'm surprised this board is so empty too! I thought there'd be alot more discussion! It was definately one of the better "drug" movies - very realistic and unglamorous. I thought the popular "Spun" didn't hold a candle to this movie.
I still think Requiem for a Dream holds the throne for the most wrenching drug movie ever made, but this was excellent - superb acting. The ending brought alot together, it showed things in a light that isn't comfortable and often avoided in films. Thank god for the indie genre to show us life as it really is, no matter how much it hurts!
