forget whatever it be you know about peter facinelli from can not hardly wait or the canceled series fastlane neither of those project even hint at the depth he tap into here . under the direction of robert ethan gunnerson ( this be one of the strong debut in recent memory ) and facinelli be bear again a an actor . equally impressive be the debut of raina simone moore and who bring refresh earthiness and wit to what could have be a stock character . there be a lot of preconceived notion about drug drama and but this film should be see first and foremost a a human drama . instead of go for the trippy style of requiem for a dream or the barebones realism of drugstore cowboy gunnerson wisely doesn not aim for one extreme . he also make strike use of selective coloring and with colored object pop out of black and white frame . in the hand of a less director and this could be a distracting gimmick and but here it work beautifully and speak volume about each character . funny how the film budget be well under a million dollar and and yet it be have so much more heart and soul than the $ 150 million miami vice . seek it out and and you will feel like you have make a great discovery . day after see it and i can not shake it and i do not want to .
