...it would be grandad snoozing in an armchair, occassionally saying 'huh what's that?' before dropping back off to sleep. It is a fairly typical 'drugs' film eg where the main character has to confront the boring monotony of everyday life in the 'real world' when he tries to give up the drugs (the point is emphasised by the job he gets drilling holes - literally boring). It is by no means a bad film and is worth a watch, but it won't set pulses racing.
