ANSON MOUNT - ADDICT PERSONIFIED
Simply could not abide this work of Anson Mount being left to wither and die due to having just one single review containing one single star. The first reviewer was perhaps commenting on the depth of human depravity in this film, which is indeed abhorrent and revolting, rather than dismissing the brilliant performances that bring this all-too-real story to life.
The story, dialogue and mood of Cook County could easily be a documentary of rural East Texas drug life with it's broken, neglected children and men who've devolved into human parasites, draining the life out of all who dare to come near them.
I can testify to having witnessed the exact drug-addled ramblings of Anson Mount's addict, which he plays with such blistering reality it boggles the mind. I cannot imagine the writer making this up, pulling only from his imagination, for these exact words are uttered inside these same filthy infested homes by these very depths of human ugliness, not just in East...
Good Movie all around!
This movie has it all...great cast, good story, gritty look at drug life. Kept my attention all the way through until the end.
Plus..Anson Mount really "owns" this role. One of his best ever!
Too real for my blood!
I wanted to see this movie because I was curious to see Anson Mount. I didn't know anything about the story line and only rate it as average because of the content. The acting was great on Mount's part, as expected, but other than a vehicle for his good acting, who wants to see the gritty side of life, ironically from the comfort of home. It took me days to stop thinking about the horrors of out of control drug usage.
