It is a combination of two drug movies “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” and “Trainspotting.” It has shows the fun, crazy side of drugs like “Fear and Loathing” and it also has the dark, sad side of drugs like “Trainspotting.”
Billy Crudup holds the movie together as the charming, selfish FH. Samantha Morton gives a good performance in a tough role as the emotional girlfriend, Michelle.
The film’s best scenes are with other drug addicts FH meets along the way. The other addicts are played Jack Black, Denis Leary and Dennis Hopper.
The only bad part is the ending drags and movie ends on a weird note.
If drugs bother you in anyway this movie is not your cup of tea.
Rating: B, Could have been better with a better ending.
Fun Fact: The movie's title comes from a line in the Velvet Underground song "Heroin."
