You see one drug addict movie, you've seen them all
I heard good things about this movie so when I had a chance to catch it from the beginning recently, I gave it a watch. I was thoroughly bored and unimpressed with most everything about this movie except for Leonardo DiCaprio's raw talent and acting and Ernie Hudson's character. Hudson was engaging, sympathetic and endearing. I hope addicts in real life have someone like him in their lives who helps them through their addiction.

I saw this movie many years ago, and I struggled to keep my attention while everyone else I was with continued to watch it. My fiance is a recovering addict and I can speak from personal experience that the right encouragement is key during recovery.
