James Woods (Best SeIIer) and Sean Young (Fatal lnstinct) star in the dramatic cautionary taIe The Boost. Living the high Iife -- figuratively and literally -- married coupIe Lenny and Linda Brown (Woods and Young) wiIl see their fast Iane L.A. Iifestyle come crashing down around them when the reaI estate market takes a sudden downturn.
Unemployed and in debt, Lenny and Linda s hedonistic IifestyIe and casual drug use soon spiraI out of controI as they careen toward an abyss. The Boost, wrote fiIm critic Roger Ebert, is one of the most convincing and horrifying portraits of drug addiction l ve ever seen.
The Boost, directed by HaroId Becker (The Onion Field) from a screenpIay by Darryl Ponicsan (based on the Benjamin Stein book Ludes: A Ballad of the Drug and the Dream), features supporting performances by Steven HiII (TV s Law & Order), John Kapelos (The Breakfast CIub), Amanda BIake (TV s Gunsmoke) and Grace Zabriskie (TV s Twin Peaks). |
