A somewhat glam look at a destructive downward spiral of cocaine addiction that takes place in L.A. I use the word glam because the main characters are 3 rich college age kids, and the drug dealer is a rich, nicely dressed, well spoken individual (as opposed to a back alley thug).
The movie is loosely based on the book by Bret Easton Ellis. **Note** If you liked the book the movie is very different in 'feel' and plot, so the movie might not measure up.
It's almost ironic that the out of control drug addict is played by Robert Downey, Jr. Life imitating art, eh?
I feel lukewarm about this movie. You believe Downey's performance, and I definitely have no desire to do cocaine after seeing this. I feel the movie had the talent, but it did not come out on the big screen. Worth a look...
