Globe and Mail Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 12, 2002 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times [Imperioli] doesn't fall for the actor's temptation of making too many emotional choices; he understands that many of Angel's problems are very simple: He wants to use more drugs than he can afford. Rated: 3/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Jon Niccum Lawrence Journal-World Rated: 2/5 Nov 18, 2005 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com The title says it all.

Audience Member Imperioli gives a good performance. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Excellent movie really good story. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Watching this preview just reminded me of how fucked up this movie really is. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member That's a very enjoyable little film about how one can come in touch with the drug scene! If you liked "Blow", you'll certainly like it or in other words - if you liked this, watch also "Blow". You may argue that it's a bit stereotyped, but I do not really think so - and if it is, that doesn't make the movie less entertaining! A undeservedly little known movie! Give it a look! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member entertaiment depressin, flashy thug. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Intense movie to watch indeed.. A must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
