I had no idea the amounts of money that can be made off treating drug addicts. The movie itself can be hard to watch at times, because you see so clearly where Utah (Jack Kilmer) comes from and exactly where he's headed. It's like watching a train wreck, where you can see the railroad tracks being removed but nothing can stop the train. It's two movies-a kind of documentary about the costs of treatment, and a secondary plot about the lives of addicts themselves. It's a story of failure, and how that failure makes a few people very rich. And Jack Kilmer is definitely an actor on the rise, but I did find myself wishing he'd have gotten the suggested haircut.
