Notes et avis

Honestly, I was just looking for something to watch and came across this. I love Matt Dillon and his acting, so that gave me further reason to watch it. I didn't think the movie would be as good as it ended up being, but wow, it was great! I am 100% going to buy this and add it to my small collection of movies I could watch 100 times over.

Most realistic portrayal off drug addiction I have ever seen, and I've searched long and hard, deep and wide. Excellent acting, very realistic and believable. Cult classic to live on forever!

I remember watching this film one evening while a sr in high school. I remember it having a very melancholli tone while also having a story to keep the mind engaged. The ending struck me as being a little off. Which I suppose was purposeful but...idk. I guess it had to end somehow....
