15 year old female thinks this is an excellent buy.
Came SUPER fast, like within three days ven though it was scheduled to come a little less than a month after I ordered it. AMAZING quality, it was perfect, disc was perfect, everything was.I love Norman Reedus, and had never seen this movie, so I ordered this, and it was more than I expected it to be!The movie is VERY confusing, but really entertaining, and I loved it.Great addition o a movie collection. :)There is quite a lot of sex/romance scenes, and sex talk is not uncommon.Violence is very frequent, and quite gruesome.Language is very frequent, like a LOT of swearing.I recommend NOT seeing the movie if you are under about 15. Of course, you know your kids, and this is a rated R movie, so, you decide.

came to see Norman Reedus
I love the roles that Norman Reedus chooses for himself, they are quirky, dark and sometimes even charming and funny. All of which you find in this film. The acting of the others only made this DVD more enjoyable for me. Debbie Harry was a great sick little mommy, and she can still sings.If you enjoy crime dramas with a touch of thriller, and a dash of dark comdey (only a dash) you will love this film.Is a great addition to my Norman Reedus shelf. Someday I hope that Norman will choose a comedy film to make, he is a well rounded actor.Comedy and a bit of romance for Norman would make him perfect in my eyes.

Good little gansta story.
I enjoyed this and I cared about the main character. I don't always, sometimes I am like go ahead loose ya big looser. Not this time. there is also a good twist in this one and I do like surprises.

jaw dropping
i hadn't seen this movie before when i decided to buy it, but adrien brody was in it and i've enjoyed all the movies i've seen with him. i have to say his acting in this was so convincing i had to laugh because his character reminded me of someone i knew. i couldn't even reconize adrien's personality while he played this strange character. the reason i only gave it three stars was because it was unneccessarily vivid in its violence and the plot didn't need to be that disguisting, especially the end. it seemed like the writer and director were trying too hard to get a rise out of people. i give adrien's performance five stars, but the movie just leaves you upset with the disturbing ending.

I saw the movie before reading the book and loved every minute of it
I saw the movie before reading the book and loved every minute of it. Norman Reedus playing the main character was a major plus. After reading the book however, I see that the movie is not so great. The reason for the 4 stars is mainly because Norman comes out.If you haven't read Portrait of a Young Man Drowning, I recommend watching this movie, I'm sure you'll like it.If you have read the book, I wouldn't recommend watching it. I can guarantee you'll be greatly disappointed - unless you just want to watch it to get your Norman Reedus fix 😉

Buy it.
It's one of the the most messed up, but amazing movies I have ever seen. You have to have a taste for its sort of dark humor to find it funny, but if you think you do, and you love Norman Reedus, then this is the movie for you.

Unglaublich, dass...
dieses Werk bisher so unbeachtet geblieben ist. Nach zweimal anschauen, muss ich echt sagen: Es lohnt sich!!Ich glaub nicht, dass der jemals in Deutschland im Kino gelaufen ist. Eine große Leinwand ist auch nicht unbedingt notwendig...wobei...Norman Reedus kann man hier als jungen Kerl genießen und da könnte die Leinwand eigentlich nicht groß genug sein!!Die Schauspieler liefern hier echt gute Arbeit. Norman ja sowieso (sollte ich voreingenommen klingen...sorry...aber er ist so sexy!) Auch Deborah Harry (Blondie) hat mich nicht nur total überrascht, sondern auch echt überzeugt.Das Zusammenspiel zwischen der alles kontrollierenden Mutter (Blondie) und dem emozional unterdrückten Sohn (Reedus) gelingt beiden super. (Was für ein Miststück sie doch ist! Er tut einem richtig leid!)Die Story, um den Jungen, der seiner Mutter hörig ist und eine durchaus verstörende körperliche Beziehung zu ihr entwickelt hat, der in mafiaähnliche Kreise aufsteigt, weil er seinen Job (das Zusammenschlagen von säumigen Schuldnern) ohne Skrupel und präzise erledigt, zu Frauen jedoch keine Beziehung aufbauen kann, weil Mama ihn für sich haben will, funktioniert sehr gut.Harrys Lebensumstände zeigen auch schnell Wirkung. Er entwickelt ein zweites ICH. Ein Typ namens Madden kommt immer dann ins Spiel, wenn Harry zu versagen droht. Aber mehr will ich nicht verraten.Die Nebendarsteller sind wirlich auch klasse. Wobei ich mal sagen muss, dass Sasha Baron Cohen (Borat/Brüno) seinen "Ali G." eindeutig von der Performance von Adrien Brody haben muss. Das ist so genial anzusehen. Der Typ nervt so klasse. ;-)Also, alles in allem ein toller Film, den man mindestens zweimal sehen sollte. Erst dann lassen sich wirklich alle kleinen seelischen, emozinalen und wahnsinnigen Feinheiten erkennen.Ach ja und hatte ich schon erwähnt, dass Norman Reedus wirklich sexy ist...vorallem in der Bordellszene (freut euch drauf!)5 Sterne
