i never saw any promtion for this movie when it was in the movie theater
but after that i was walking down the street and saw a poster of it out side a video store it looked good so i rented it
so how did u find out about this movie
A friend (former tweaker) brought it over. I was put off at first, thinking it might drive him right back to the habit, but I think he wanted me to see what it was like for him "back in the day."
Everyone in the film did a perfect job.
Yadda yadda yadda <- this is my signature
Internet article on drug movies. I was in this faze where I was watching drug movies from the early late 90's and 00's like Human Traffic, Go, Requiem for a Dream (though I had seen it long before) and Trainspotting. Funny enough I don't really do drugs or am I really into the drug scene, I just like the cinematography and filming techniques in a lot of these movies.
So anyhow watched this movie. It is a generic, over edited and cheesy "drug movie" that plays it's self out as a comedy in times where it knows it can't be serious.
My neighbors son's parole officer's brother-in-law's twin sisters bookkeeper's daughter recommended it to me. At first I thought it was a comedy and I realized it had absolutely no moral value what so ever... and then I watched it again for it's rather definitive opinion of female dancers in a third world setting while ingesting stimulants so to dance longer hours and at the same time finding a better outlet for their prurient desires. I enjoyed many of the characters in the movie. I have to give Mickey Rourke's wardrobe manager high marks for the unusual and unique fashion statement made by Rourke in the movie. I was also surprised when Ron Jeremy spoke, most movies he is a lube boy.
shareShowtime circa spring of 04
shareA friend made it
shareI'm a huge Mickey Rourke fan,so I'm watchin all of his movies,and this came on the list,I really liked it
shareLooked up "movies about drug addiction" and this came up, and it is one hell of a ride through the world of crystal meth. A class movie all the same...

Just came across this on amazon prime.
shareIt was never promoted and I don't recall a theater run either, and I live in L.A.
I do remember the DVD box cover at the Video rental stores and it almost grabs your interest until you read the synopsis.
I grew up with addicted family members and friends. No amount of Hollywood drama really captures the fall out from its effects
I think I was into indie films, and all of them, the title was catchy with a cool cover, plus roarke. I was into Rourke films at the time.
