        I didn't know what to expect going into the film, but I was able to keep an open mind and actually appreciate what the production team was trying to get across. What could have been a great film about William S. Burroughs and his literary influence instead seems to be a slice-of-life picture about a married couple. The script suffers terribly from virtually no uniqueness to these people. How Courtney Love continued to make her way into any spotlight is beyond me, and Kiefer Sutherland attempting to portray Burroughs is like Keanu Reeves portraying Laurence Olivier. What a piece of shit <a href="http://s273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/?action=view¤t=william_s_burroughs.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj203/goji9000/william_s_burroughs.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>
