Review
An interesting non - Hollywood type of movie. Direction was done really nicely. I loved the camerawork. Especially shots of the actors' eyes through different scenarios and emotions. Editing was done fairly well.
The cast in this movie was good and it's been awhile since I last saw Halle Berry in a good role, her last few movies were pretty much shit.The scene stealer is definitely Benicio Del Toro. Everytime he appears in a scene,he acts it out fucking brilliantly while oozing coolness. Worth watching this movie just for Del Toro.
Best quote

Audrey Burke: What's heroin like?
Jerry Sunborne: Do you hear that expression being kissed by God?
