A good movie for any addict tempted to relapse, that needs to be reminded of the hole they crawled out of. Also, there are people out there more fucked up than you are. moreCast

Brutally realistic, I've done some stupid things in my life, but this movie really illustrates what addiction can do to people, and these people have let addiction go way to far. I've experienced less and heard of worse, not that that makes me better than they are, but this is about as close as I'd want to get to actually seeing the bottom of the gutter/latrine that is addiction.
In addition to the realism portrayed by the actors, there are some pretty ingenious directing techniques and plot twists displayed by the director. Definitely a movie for the connoisseur of movies that enjoys a well directed, well written, comical, fucked up and twisted flick.
If you liked, "Fight Club," or the, "The Basketball Diaries," you'll love this one...
