A powerful, gripping movie! I had to remember to breathe, the tension was so great during most of the movie. The only respite was provided when a new character was introduced and you would recognize the actor but were quickly sucked back into the story. Oscar nominations should be forthcoming for Benicio Del Tore (Actor) and Erika Christensen (Supporting Actress). The rest of the cast, with the possible exception of Zeta-Jones (who may only be a victim of being too beautiful) are superb. The movie is all-encompassing in its treatment of the drug problem and has a point of view on how to deal with a difficult issue that society would do well to embrace. A must see!
