Title: Depressing, dark and hopeless
Product review: While I normally like Lumet's work, this movie was utterly without any sense of hope. As such, it was an exercise in depression. Hawke and Hoffman's characters were without any meaningful redeeming virtues. This was apparently supposed to convey a sense of realism, but it comes across as "reality" TV. If you want to be depressed, watch this film. If you're seeking to be entertained, buy something else.
