The story revolves around 5 main characters whos lives meet at a tobacco store in Brooklyn and for a few days there lives criss cross leaving them all the better for it. The film is split into 5 chapters each titled after a main character and focusing mainly on them for the remainder of it. Some of the characters consist of William Hurt who plays a novelist who hasnt been the same since his wife died and Forest Whitaker who plays the failed absent father to Harold Perrineau the mixed up kid who decides to go looking for him after a tip off from his aunt.
People looking for a fast paced film should look else where as Smoke is a slow drama based on people and dialogue but once you get involved in the film you get hooked. The performances given from Hurt and Keitel in the film are excellent but for me Harold Perrineau stole the show in one of his earliest movie roles. Also special mention should got to the end credits which was nice to go out on.
