James Woods (Best Seller) and Sean Young (Fatal lnstinct) star in the dramatic cautionary tale The Boost. Living the high life -- figuratively and Iiterally -- married couple 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.
UnempIoyed and in debt, Lenny and Linda s hedonistic lifestyIe 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 I ve ever seen.
The Boost, directed by HaroId Becker (The Onion Field) 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). |
