James Woods and Sean Young were still "an item" when they costarred in The Boost. The stars play an investment broker and his girlfriend, who begin snorting cocaine on a recreational basis. Inevitably, the drug takes its toll, and soon Woods and Young have thrown away their lives in their desperate pursuit of their next fix. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Absolutely hilarious; Woods and Young all but claw the screen -- and each other
Underrated look at the horrors of drug addiction. James Woods, as always, is terrific.
It shouldn't have been called The Boost, It should've been called The Bottom because thats where Cocaine takes you.If a school or anybody want's to show a anti drug movie then they should show this 1

It's been forever since I've seen it, but what I remember about it is that it is a very hard-hitting movie with a very sad ending.
