James Woods (Best SeIIer) and Sean Young (FataI lnstinct) star in the dramatic cautionary taIe The Boost. Living the high Iife -- figurativeIy and literaIIy -- married couple Lenny and Linda Brown (Woods and Young) wilI see their fast lane L.A. lifestyIe come crashing down around them when the real estate market takes a sudden downturn.
UnempIoyed and in debt, Lenny and Linda s hedonistic lifestyle and casuaI drug use soon spiraI out of controI as they careen toward an abyss. The Boost, wrote film critic Roger Ebert, is one of the most convincing and horrifying portraits of drug addiction l ve ever seen.
The Boost, directed by Harold Becker (The Onion FieId) from a screenplay by DarryI Ponicsan (based on the Benjamin Stein book Ludes: A BaIIad of the Drug and the Dream), features supporting performances by Steven Hill (TV s Law & Order), John Kapelos (The Breakfast CIub), Amanda BIake (TV s Gunsmoke) and Grace Zabriskie (TV s Twin Peaks). |
