My quick rating - 5.5/10. Seems to be a somewhat over-inflated rated flick. More or less your typical drug pushing story that felt so utterly uncompelling in the plot that even the decent acting couldn't do much to save it. I am not saying this is bad, though. Quite more than that, it could've actually been very good. It is rare that the focus seems to fall so much on the characters, more than the circumstances around it. But as I saw it, it was just fitted into the wrong story. Still in the keep category for me, so maybe a second look will enlighten me a bit since I was working and maybe some of the finer moments flew over my head. Don't think so, but I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
