SCORE:
NOTE: If you don't like watching scenes of people being high or getting high (and yes, that includes using needles) then do not watch this film. It is a great film, one of the best drug-subject films I have ever seen but I would never watch it again- yes, it is that hard to watch. If you've watched "Trainspotting" and you felt Trainspotting was uncomfortable to watch then this will be undeniably more so. An awesome film however with great acting, great story and great soundtrack.
