Junkie (2012)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

best movie i've ever seen.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I understood in about the first 5 minutes what was going on, as I'm an addict myself. I personally thought the first 20 minutes of the movie were the best, and the last 10 minutes, everything else is filler, and is meant to drive the point home I guess of how the life in a way is like. You're crazy, you do crazy stuff, you're literally insane while in the life of a hardcore junkie, alcoholic.The woman at the start was his high, he looked at her with fear, and then she leaves. And than BAM your addiction kicks in begging you to call your dealer etc. Then it just goes off lol. All in all a powerful movie for the addict, not so much for non addicts.

Wow i don't even know where to start... this movie is unlike no other and can only compare to requiem for a dream and fear and loathing in las vegas, those would be the only 2 movies I've seen that are comparable. i gotta say its a pretty tough movie to get through but once you get past the first 15-20 mins its gets more clear, interesting and you start getting a better understanding of the movie and whats going on... (some may be lost). this movie is very crazy and trippy. i did enjoy the ending and it explains the movie more if you were lost...watch this if there aren't many other things to watch, if you enjoyed the 2 movies i stated above you might enjoy this one... it says its a comedy though i didn't find many funny scenes but if some of you are into the dark insane crap

Original this is. Good though it isn't. The video work is great for what they are dealing with, and sound,and editing are really much better than a movie like this should be aloud to have.If you get past the first 20 minutes, I am not sure if that would made me feel proud, or sad for you. This is a movie about Junkies. Not the trainspotting funny messed up people you don't really know, but the real dirt people. The 5% of society that will rip the teeth out of your head for a fix. The people who use each other, and know that even if you were dead, and they might miss you, your stuff will make their pain go away.I hate these people,we all do, and this movie though not glorifying them, is still just a load of horse in the wrong vein. Skip it, don't even read the liner notes.Such a shame to as these really are some of the LA actors that people like to watch perform.

I saw this movie today and it is an amazing film if you can finish it. I do see the fight club similarity and once you understand what's going on it totally makes sense.Seeing addiction personified also helps if you are or know someone who is or was an addict.I found Danny easily able to relate to and once you descend into his madness you can empathize with him. It's almost like someone took the scene from Trainspotting where Marc is going through withdrawal and focused on that. The last two minutes are what makes this movie, how Nicky speaks to you honestly and tries to help you.This films belongs right up there with the likes of Trainspotting.
