Olive Stone made this movie too long and the main characters were too over the top. Benicio played a good bad ass mother#$#%. It was entertaining but some of the were pointless. It is worth watching once.

OK, not really convincing but somewhat entertaining nonetheless. Cool setting (Laguna Beach). The double ending was unnecessary.

Oliver Stone made 3 great movies, Platoon, Wall Street and JFK, since then he has struggled to produce anything better than average. This had a good story and it started off promising but it just seemed to go on forever. There is a pretty decent thriller hidden in this dragged out over stylised movie somewhere but you'll lose the will to find it at the 2 hour mark which will seem more like the 3 hour mark. As for the ending, what was the point of that? Could the director not decide how to end it?!

This had so much potential but just failed to live up to it, I think it tried to hard to be unique.

This was a strange movie. Wildly uneven and filled with both terrible and brilliant performances. Still, I found myself enjoying the film and it's hyper-kinetic style.

Too bad that the acting was kinda good because everything else was undesireable. The characters aren't that likeable with the pace dragging on and fleshed out like a TV crime drama and wasn't at all like the action-packed trailer made it seem. I found myself counting down for when it would be over. Then right when you think it's over, WTF!

Didn't really enjoy this. Too long, meandered around too much and I really hate rewind/alternative endings.

"Botched ending"? Wanting to watch this with a bit of hesitation now. :S

It's good, until the length - which is way too long for the premise - takes away any care you had for the characters or plot to a point where even the action can't wake you up.

A TRUE Gem for the 21st Century....Crazy amounts of cameos and was fleed with awesome scenes!

Terrible movie all around! I thought it would be good with Travolta and Del Toro but even they couldn't save it

Meh . . . kind of failed as a drug culture movie, kind of failed as an action movie . . . and certainly failed at any attempt at drama. What happened to Oliver Stone?

I like the story and all, but they could've done better, might of been a favourite if it had more effort put into it and wasn't as boring.

I liked it, the performances are good, the story, OK and it's a bit long, but all in all entertaining.

Fantastic cast, great characters and some great plot lines, but I didn't think this movie was as great as some others did. 3 out of 5 for sure. I probably wouldn't watch this on tv, especially if it was censored.

I'm not sure what was the point in making this movie. There isn't much redeeming value here. All the characters are unlikeable. The ending was crap. I would rather be watching breaking bad.
