Excellent story of a junkie who tries to straighten out his life, only to find out that things aren’t much better than they were before.
Matt Dillon delivers one of the best performances of his career in Drugstore Cowboy, a gritty film about the real life of junkies. There is heavy drug content in this film, but in no way is the drug life glorified. We see the more realistic life of drugs on the streets, which is probably what makes this such an aesthetically unpleasing film. No one in the movie looks good, it has just about as much ugliness as a spectacularly ugly movie like Buffalo ’66, which enhances the realism of the film. Much of the film is shot in a documentary style, giving it a gritty, realistic feel, almost like a twisted home movie.Dillon plays the part of Bob, a young junkie in the early 1970s who goes around with his group of friends breaking into pharmacies and drug stores and stealing random bottles of prescription bottles looking for their next high. The movie starts at the end of the story, with Bob riding in an ambulance and telling us the story of how he got there, but has the pleasing distinction of not leading you exactly to where you knew you were going to be. Even by showing the end of the story there is nothing given away. This is a powerful drug film that doesn’t hold anything back. It is not pretty to look at, but also like Buffalo ’66, it’s hideously unattractive counterpart, the movie has something to say.
Over rated!
Drugstore Cowboy is an over rated film. Not bad, but highly over rated. This is not the type of movie I would like, but the story is interesting to follow. M Dillon has a strong performance. But, and there is a but Drugstore Cowboy has an independent movie feel. Low budget, with choppy acting. The extras, an cheesy locations reminds me of the cheap films made in my home town of Winnipeg. The drugs, and weird thinking of the self-destructions of the protagonist is a bit too much to watch. Drugstore Cowboy is a film you watch and say meeeh! I will only watch this once. Good for a art house movie, but for myself No thanks. 3 stars.
