After What's Eating Gilbert Grape, this should possibly have been Leo's second oscar nom. The ending was a happy ending, which is always good but the film lacked plot-twists. I felt like apart from from Leo's ups and downs, I didn't care about much else, I didn't get enough emotion from it except upset. The acting from Leo, James Mado, Mark Wahlberg and Bruno Kirby was brilliant, and Ernie Hudson's role was vital and some of my favourite scenes. Not the most memorable storyline, the highs and lows of a drug addict but a real eye opener and it does pull on your heart strings for sure.

It wasn't bad but I expected it to be better than it actually is. It's based on a true story and show us the awful world of drugs in a realistic way. The young Leonardo DiCaprio gave great strong and believable performance. Mark Wahlberg did a nice work as well.

Weak in many areas, but DiCaprio's portrayal was astonishing. Completely bleak and haunting.
