Harrowing Black Comedy

If you have ever been on drugs, or you want to understand more, watch this movie. The glamour and glitz of everyday activities of your average doped up fool is classicly epitomised within the content of this woeful tale. There is a mixture of emotions whilst watching the movie, and you can actually feel the teenage angst and drug endused denial that is being thrown at you from the films main players. At the end of the film you feel dirty and relieved that you have managed to get to the inevitable moralistic conclusion........JUST SAY NO. In all seriousness though, the film has achieved this in a fashion that has an appeal to people that have had/having drug problems. This of course would be the directors intention one would imagine,and he has succeeded.The only two other movies to manage that on this level, has to be 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas' and of course 'Trainspotting'.

Each take the light with the dark and mix it up into scrambled egg and chuck it at you from a passing Volvo doing 100 Mph.
