i do not know what i be get myself into when i put this movie in my dvd player . from the very begin i be draw in and as much a one can be when someone be fornicate with sarah michelle gellar while play music from multiple boom box and smoke a blunt . i find the character development intriguing and the casting be superb . i like the choice of protagonist and a less know actor surround by more recognizable peer and similar to donnie darko . the cinematography be interesting and and the portrayal of the effect of lsd be as accurate a i have ever see on film and sans fear and loathe . the subject matter encompass vice of many flavor . never before have i see promiscuity and gambling and deceit and drug use and and gun play so eloquently infuse with the like of philosophical banter . this movie greatly appeal to my sense of intellect a i often find myself caught in sheer amazement that a film like this have be produce and slip under my radar for so long . it deal with real life scenario and subject matter often too taboo to be portray ever so causally and a refreshing look at a facet rarely see . it abstract intellectualism combine with sex and drug use surely would not appeal to conservative film watcher . this be definitely a film for a niche audience and i applaud james toback for this peek into real life .
