Review of Life Is Hot in Cracktown (2009) by Jason C — 24 Jun 2011
It has that same bleak vibe that "Requiem for a Dream" had 10 years ago. However, this movie is nothing compared to Aronofsky's masterpiece. I liked the urban neo-realism that Buddy Giovinazzo used in this film; telling a story of how crack has destroyed one little block in Los Angeles through the lives of multiple people.
What mainly killed it for me was that the characters were interesting but only 1 or 2 of them really got the necessary camera time to develop.
