How long can your business be a success? When do you try to change and upgrade your life? Susan Sarandon is an upscale drug dealer with a list of elite clients. One of her better runners (Willem Dafoe)is burning out delivering the "goods". He is fighting with his conscience and wants to give the job up and better his life. Sarandon also is planning to stop dealing drugs. Dafoe wonders if this will put an end to his loneliness and sad existence.
Sarandon and Dafoe are absolutely great. Sarandon seems just as sexy and self assured as she was in BULL DURHAM. Dafoe puts a jagged edge on his intense persona. Also in the cast are Dana Delany and David Clennon. And quite comical is David Spade, who has a brief scene as a stoned "Cokehead".
Writer/director Paul Schrader presents a complex modern day story in an old fashioned way. At times you may think this film drags a little; but this type story needs to simmer not boil.
