kevin c Matthew Modine plays an entitled actor who, years after a drug fueled night in Miami, tries to put together the happenings of that evening which reveal a side of himself he may not like. Dennis Hopper is fun in this as a sleazy sex club owner which felt like a nicer version of his character in Blue Velvet. Otherwise, while interesting, this is kind of all over the place. Another dark gritty film from Abel Ferrara. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A must-see sensual cinema diamond by Ferrara, with Matthew Modine in a flawless performance! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Matty, divo del cinema, tormentato dalla dipendenza da Annie, dall'alcool e dalla cocaina, perde la memoria e dimentica di aver commesso un omicidio. Quando scopre che Annie ha abortito perché non vuole partorire il figlio di un drogato, Matty strangola durante un rapporto la cameriera. Disintossicatosi, diciotto mesi dopo viene riportato alla retta via da una casalinga perbene, ma l'incubo di avere ucciso Annie e l'ossessione per lei fanno soccombere il protagonista, il quale di notte si avvia verso la morte nuotando nell'oceano. Poi accade che mentre nuota verso l'oceano appare una scena finale in cui Matty è con una donna nuda la quale gli chiede: <<ti sono mancata?>>.

A shame, since at certain points it had me completely. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Starring: Matthew Modine, Claudia Schiffer, Beatrice Dalle, Sarah Lassez, Steven Bauer, and Dennis Hopper. Directed by Abel Ferrara. Written by Abel Ferrara, Marla Hanson, and Christ Zois. Rated [b]R[/b] (for strong pervasive drug use, language, sexual content and violence).

It is a pointless, gratuitously graphic and absolutely vile drama that fails to connect at all with the viewer. Matthew Modine delivers a dreadful, lazy performance, and, as is to be expected, Dennis Hopper is so over-the-top, we become tired just watching him. Here, he's like a cliche, lame and unbelievable Frank Booth. Ack! I hated this movie. [b]1/2* (out of ****) D-[/b] Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/custom/13/10000913.jpg[/img] Much better film than the critics rate it. Dennis Hopper is very good, as is Modine. Uncomfortable to watch. Ferrara does a good job at getting to the underbelly of our country. Too much real for most folks. But I like it.
