Cook County

Okay, some of the behaviors of the users in the film rang true, but mostly they're just a bunch of cliched actions by a relatively decent unknown cast. While superior to Spun, which was so over the top it was ridiculous, this film eventually spirals into just another mediocre drama. I liked the editing and some of the dialogue, but sadly the overall impression was one of a lost opportunity and disappointment. Twenty minutes could have been chopped off of this without detracting anything. Even taking into consideraton the erratic unpredictability of meth heads, they still went beyond the realm of credibility too many times. No sympathy for any of the losers in this mess. Meanders aimlessly for long stretches. The main character? You'll be so sick of his face and voice and him spewing nonsensical gibberish.
