Some good performances from the two male leads, and good production values on display here both on camera and sound but there is one tiny little problem.
The fact thats its all been pretty much been done before in 'Requiem for a Dream' hampers the actual earnestness of this film. Even the payoff the junkies get sequence is stylistically a direct lift from the Aronofski film/Selby book.
Shame really.
Good film but just not original and doesn't thank the right people in the credits to say there is an homage in play here, so its a pilfer in my language.
