Tainted Souls

Well acted....decent production values, but the story is depressing. It can be summed up in the subject line. What the director has given us are two attractive leads who we pity more than like. I thought films were supposed to help us escape our own dull, pitiful lives. Here we see an amplification of our lives. Perhaps, the message of the movie is to show how destructive alcohol and especially cocaine are. I personally didn't need any external proof, since I've seen it firsthand in my own family. It would be more helpful to show how genetics plays a vital role in determining who gets addicted and who doesn't.
