Apr 2, 2017 Excellent acting. Excellent directing. Enough said. See more Dec 7, 2010 Good movie! Just have to watch it I guess... See more Steve S @RT32687682 Nov 9, 2009 *** (out of four) An involving directorial turn from actor Billy Wirth ("The Lost Boys"). The film follows the many drug addicts, pushers, and homeless people who call the Los Angeles park home. The story is moving and insightful. See more Aug 1, 2009 MacArthur Park is a stunning and horrifyingly real look at individual's lost in their own drug-scoring world. The film is not for the faint at heart and is really very violent when considering the film is made to portray real life homeless drug addiction. Most of the character's display enough amusing human emotions and relationships so the film isn;t a complete downer. The dialogue has plenty of "well, once I get out of here" thoughts and you definately feel that is the true addict mentality. Overall, very good movie without any frills that makes you cringe that there are so many lives lost in this manner. See more Jun 7, 2008 bare grimey. shows a naaaasty side of LA life. watch this, ul never smoke crack... or ul become a pimp, either way its an experience.
