Critics Consensus

A chaotic drug movie that has little substance behind the stylistic flash.

Empire Magazine Rated: 3/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Nev Pierce BBC.com Like an ex-addict reminiscing over their days of dependence, it's dead behind the eyes: hollowed out. Rated: 2/5 Nov 25, 2003 Full Review Geoff Pevere Toronto Star It never quite convinces you this is anything but a fashion shoot. Rated: 2/5 May 9, 2003 Full Review Jason Gorber Film Scouts The mix of a fast pace, animated moments, and the always nuts Rourke makes for an entertaining flick Rated: B Jun 21, 2007 Full Review Pablo Villaça Cinema em Cena Mesmo com seu timo elenco, esta cpia sem personalidade de Vamos Nessa! e Rquiem para um Sonho o exemplo perfeito da expresso 'muito estilo para pouco contedo'.

mark g This is an incredible film. And I know why some people down it, one scene in particular is quite strong. But it is central to the story. If you're uptight, you won't like it. But if you appreciate great acting, music, and some dark comedic moments, it's great. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/11/24 Full Review Larry F Not much of a plot but I liked it a lot more than I expected. The pace and helter-skelter style of the photography is clearly an expression of someone that has been on a drug trip. The acting is quite good across the board, which seals the deal. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/24 Full Review Ted M This movie ranks up there with Drugstore Cowboy and Basketball Diaries for depiction of drug culture. Quite well done even if the (spot on) meth depiction escaped almost all of the critics . Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/30/23 Full Review Kliff H Intense methy and very abstinent. Great pace, shock-value is acceptable and its bedded for doomsday. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/13/23 Full Review Kenneth D I'd love the wild ride and chaos of each persons' life. The drug using cops add a hilarious punch. I thought the ending needed some work, maybe have Ross drive away or Cook crashing the car and killing them both. Great film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/24/23 Full Review N c Course you have to have been addicted to something before to appreciate it but I love this movie, incredible cast, great soundtrack that I still listen to all these years later, hilarious at some parts, sad at others, would definitely recommend this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
