08/30/2011 A must-see sensual cinema diamond by Ferrara, with Matthew Modine in a flawless performance! See more 02/05/2011 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?>>.

Written by Abel Ferrara, Marla Hanson, and Christ Zois. Rated [b]R[/b] (for strong pervasive drug use, language, sexual content and violence). Running time approximately 1 hour 37 minutes.

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.

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. See more 10/06/2009 From the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival.A Complete waste of my time, This is the worst of all the movies I have seen from this Festival. What was this movie about, had to be a low point in everyone?s career. I knew I was in trouble when netflix sent me a 1997 Movie, that had not a scratch one on it. Looked like a movie right out of the case, meaning, no one has watched it, and for good reason. You give this anything more then 2 stars you might want to get a life. Gets 1/2 a star from me. TRASH IT See more 06/03/2009 Visually impressive but a bit of a mess. See more Read all reviews
