Summary: Story of a Junkie
Review: I first saw this film in a preview and thought it was some sort of eighties joke. When I found it at the video store and read it was a Troma release, I was convinced. This is no Toxic Avenger though (Although thats a very good movie for different reasons). This movie is very good. Apparently the actors are all real people from the street recreating actual scenes from the main characters life. This is probably not entirely true but the movie has a very real documantary feel and the direction is raw but wholly convincing. The movie does seem a little long though and consists almost entirely of dialogue but is one of the better movies about drugs I have seen and it would be interesting to see more of this directors work. This is my first review and only an opinion so Internet geeks and film buffs who want to discredit me for not talking about certain camera angles or production values or whatever, restrain yourself. I'm just someone who liked the movie and reccomends it.
