The only reason i gave 4 stars instead of 5 is my eyes and brain has been so accustomed to full hd and 4k that when i watch a dvd it burns my soul! Well that was a bit dramatic, but i'm not overly impressed with the picture quality. I've seen plenty of dvd's with less grainy picture but for all i know that could be the filmmakers fault, if he(Jonas Åkerlund) used some special filter or thingamajig? It's fully watchable, i'm just not 100% happy with the picture quality is all. I hope this will get a 4k-restore and reissued. It is a classic "drug-movie", aka a movie where the plot is about a group of drug users. In this case the "wonderful" creation that is methamphetamines. It's a quirky movie and it has some really odd characters in it, but that is to be expected from this type of movie and especially from director Åkerlund who's most known for making music videos. At times the movie itself feels like a music video with it's abrubt cuts and creative camerawork. The one thing that makes this movie shine from other so called drug movies is Brittany Murphy(r.i.p). This and her part in the movie 8 Mile is by far her best work. Recommended(if there are any left).Read full review

Very original film with very engaging story, characters, camera, and editing techniques. I'm giving this 4 stars, mainly due to the least insightful and most boring, unenthusiastic director's commentary I've ever seen in my life. How on earth does a director make such a wild and funny film, but have little to nothing to say during the commentary? Overall, a great film. Just forget about the horrendously insightful commentary.

This is one of the most entertaining movies I have ever seen. Very similar to Requiem for a Dream but more comical and faster paced. It's almost scary to think some people actually live like this daily. The late, great Brittney Murphy did a great job playing the twacked out female lead who reminds me of a real life drugged up Luanne (King of the Hill). Every second of this film is captivating due to it's fast editing and camera angles. Great movie.
I love it!! It's non stop. It shows the dark as well as the funny side of the meth world. I'm 61 never used it or seen it, but the movie made me feel it. Great cast of actors. Mickey Rourke as "The cook" was supurb!! Each actor made a great character of their role.
A really great take on addiction and its consequences. A must see for any Brittany Murphy fan. A new cult classic.
