Terrible movie

[cablemodem · 1/10 · 5 October 2003]

Well -- I wanted to see a film featuring Lisa Marie and found this film listed on Imdb. It was quite difficult to get the film -- but it was even harder to watch it, probably one of the most painful experiences in my whole life. Still, you do learn many things about film making when you watch such a terrible movie: having a real plot and directing skills is helpful, as well as wanting to tell a story... Do not watch this film!

Atrocious acting, unwatchable/ Positive reviews are obvious shills (single use accounts)

This film is unwatchable. I feel like the cast was chosen based on "The producers" criteria of the worst possible actors. For you own sanity avoid this!

Oh, by the way, the positive reviews of this here are clearly fake. Both are single use accounts created solely to absurdly uprate this awful waste of time.

Great work from Lisa Marie and Samuel Ball

I was completely taken in by the work of these two actors, even though the film was highly stylized, it did however bring me in and keep me throughout the experience of money, power, friendship, and addiction, the film however was a bit long, I highly recommend seeing this work of art.

A Must See

I would fully reccomend this movie and look forward to seeing it get more public distribution. Lisa Marie's last film since her split from Tim Burton finally getting a chance to play a lead roll. She rocks, really getting down and dirty showing the non glamourous side of heroin, as if there were a glamorous one. Sam Ball is also in it, the same Sam Ball who's starring in 13 going on 30, this was his first feature too. This movie is hardcore but really worth seeing if you want to see something extraordinary, life-changing, and just plain dramatic. In my opinion, it's destined to be an underground hit and then make it to more commercially viable venues. It's hard to find, but find it. Find it now.
