Second viewing; previously viewed on April 14, 1996.
An ex-junky just out of rehab plans to quit his card-dealing job and start a new life as a drummer in a band. His chair-ridden wife is not too encouraging, and his former employer wants him back at his service. The drug pusher also keeps tempting him with a fix. The beautiful bar hostess offers him some help.

The characters in this film are such over-the-top caricatures they imbue the protagonist's drama with a comic-book dimension. Within those psychological constraints, the film is indeed electrifying at its peak moments.
Rating: 64 (down from 74)
