Who has seen this movie? What do you think of it? I know it's a few years old but I can't stop watching it. It's so sad yet it draws you in.

just to think people actually go through all this and worse to get their fix.

I really think the camera and the music really set this film apart

    A very gritty film that ultimately descends into maddness,
    just like the characters' lives.
    Once was enough for me.

    My favorite line in that movie has got to be that old man at that party near the end. When the girls ask what's next, that old guy says, "**** to **** baby, **** to ****". That scene that follows is ultimately disturbing.

    One thing I remember about that movie that surprised me was the ample usage of the surround channels. In my room, I got awesome side wall imaging. I think I've only watched 1 other movie that actually pulled off side wall imaging.

    Totally F'd up but very VERY well done! Definitely an extreme sad movie but well worth the watch. I'd like to hear it in surround, seeing how much the audio engineers could have fun with all the drugs being used. Just not sure if I could spend the money to buy it. ha ha
