Review title: More than zero, but not by much
Product review: Two friends (Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz) try to rescue a third (Robert Downey, Jr.) from the cocaine-fueled hell into which he is spiraling in the glitzy LA drug scene of the 80s. Although I admired the performances (particularly Downey's), I just couldn't get very involved in the story and look of the film was too slick. It often seemed as if director Marek Kanievska really wanted to make a music video. One could argue that this look is appropriate for the superficial world that the characters inhabit, but that doesn't make me enjoy it any more. It is filled with absurd MTV moments like the two young lovers stopping their car right in the middle of the road and making out passionately while bikers rumble past on either side of them. And the fate of Downey's character is uninspired and cliche.
