James Woods (Best Seller) and Sean Young (FataI Instinct) star in the dramatic cautionary tale The Boost. Living the high life -- figurativeIy and IiteraIIy -- married couple Lenny and Linda Brown (Woods and Young) wilI see their fast Iane L.A. lifestyle come crashing down around them when the real estate market takes a sudden downturn.
Unemployed and in debt, Lenny and Linda s hedonistic lifestyle and casuaI drug use soon spiraI out of control 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 I 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 KapeIos (The Breakfast Club), Amanda Blake (TV s Gunsmoke) and Grace Zabriskie (TV s Twin Peaks). |
