I found this movie as great imagined through the eyes of the writer and badly made by the director.The story is great.Dialog,beginning,ending it's all great but i think that the director missed a style of making this movie.For first the camera sucked.It is really badly shooted movie.Fogy picture and shaking camera was supposed to give reality to this movie but it actually took it away.Director tried to do something like what Steven Soderbergh did in traffic but he failed.He also made a bad character development through the movie.James Wood's was great as Mel but his character didn't have much back story in it.At the beginning we see a guy that jump's to help a bunch of junkies,then he gives them drog's and then he becomes a complete moron who don't gives a damn about anybody.It may sound good when i write it but it wasn't.It all happened to suddenly.Even though James Wood's was great actor for this role but his character didn't deserve him in this movie. Melanie Griffith was great too.Except her character is the only one in this movie that i found complete.She was what she is through the whole movie and she still wasn't boaring. The actor's were all good actually but her character is the only one that don't misses a back up story.Through the movie you slowly find out what kind of person she is even though no one sais anything about her.
This film has a hard and realistic story and dialog so i would of recommended to anyone that loves good movies about how it is today.Even it was badly directed it still has a large amount of fun in it.And the lesson is good.Enjoy!
