Drugstore Cowboy

Summary: drugs and thugs
Review: this one is about 4 losers who rob drug stores for..............what else?................drugs!then they either take them or sell them.nobody important showed up on audition day.this is not a lifetime movie and can be enjoyed by the guys.it does look inexpensive like a lifetime movie though.it is not nasty like that movie with leonardo dicaprio where hes a junkie or trainspotting with thier lewd and disgusting scenes and dead babies.there are 2 really obnoxious people here.one is a slow kid from next door who keeps trying to hang with the big kids and the other is one of the main 4 characters who constantly screws everything up.the real deal is this movie is good.since no one else will say it,i will........if you want to make a good movie about heroin and other narcotics,just cut out the screaming rehab workers,the gay men in the bathroom stalls and all graphic displays of bodily functions.oh and no one AND I MEAN NO ONE is amused by the dead baby scene in trainspotting.so,my point is this movie follows that formula and is therefore good.

Review: Truly one of the greatest films of the eighties and, actually, one of my all-time favorites. I could watch Drugstore Cowboy once a week for a year and never get tired of it. This is a great example of Gus Van Sant's work and, along with My Own Private Idaho, is probably his best. For those who think that they know who Gus Van Sant is because they saw Good Will Hunting or want to see Psycho, they should check this out and see what he's really all about. Great performances all around, escpecially from Dillon and Lynch, and a fantastic cameo by William S. Burroughs as Bob's childhood priest. Unapologetic in tone, and beautiful to look at (especially Van Sant's obsession with time-lapse photography). Along with Do the Right Thing, the best film of 1989, and one of the most powerful films in the past ten years. Definitely check it out.
