One of my favouite movies of all time. I always liked Leonardo DiCaprio, and I always thought his early movies were some of his best. The movie is much less about about sports than it is about drugs. It really shows the side affects of drugs like heroin and cocaine very accurately, as well as the alutionations one gets. For instance, when Leo does heroin, he gets happy visions of him running through a valley of flowers, and when he does coke, he gets surreal visions of him shooting people. Also, Leonardo does a great job playing Jim Carroll. Hell he even looks just like him when he was younger. Mark Wahlberg is very good in it as well, though is definately overshadowed by DiCaprio's acting.Definately watch this, it is SO worth it.
