Good but not a sports movie like I thought

Although I loath basketball I decided to give this movie a shot (I had no idea what it was about). To my surprise it was less about basketball and more about drugs (which I enjoy) and I ended up liking the movie. Young DiCaprio is somewhat annoying to watch, but he does get better with age. Juliette Lewis was annoying like usual and Mark Wahlberg played the same basic character that he always does: a large, take no shit, thug.
Overall a good movie, but not nearly as good as Trainspotting or Requiem for a Dream.

I have not seen this movie for some reason, but looks like I need to check it out. Have you seen "Candy" or "Spin." Both of those are pretty decent drug movies as well.
