Someone said "meth" on a podcast this morning and I randomly remembered a scene from this movie. Took me a half hour to remember what it was from.

Has anyone else seen this? I remember liking this movie when it came out on DVD, but haven't watched it since.

Haven't watched it since around the time it came out but I really liked. Probably worth a revisit now that you've brought it up. Forgot about the stacked cast.

Same here. My main memory of this is it being very binary within our social circle. People either really liked it or hated it. Sort of like The Thin Red Line and Very Bad Things.

This just makes me sad knowing what happened to Val Kilmer. Such a great actor to get shitted on by cancer.
