This movie only had 2 things going for it:
1. Mickey Rourke. He is always great in whatever role he plays, of course he always plays the sleaziest characters, but he's still great.
2. Brittany Murphy. She looks like she's on crank without the crank make-up effects, so she fits right in.
Everything else about it stunk! Even Jason Scwartzman, who is great in all of the other movies he's been in, was bad in this one. The story was predictable and didn't really have a point, the sub stories didn't go anywhere. It wasn't even pointless in an "artsy" way, it was just bad. The whole thing looks like a 101 min. music video, and the cameo by Billy Corgan made it that much worse. It's Requiem for a Dream meets Fear and Loathing... with a little bit of Gummo.
A totally unoriginal film.
