i just watched this last night..it was pretty good..i have alot of questions though..
what job did bobby exactly get when he said him and hellen would be rich?and how did he get it? after he gets released from jail,does he hate Hank?
When bobby got the job, did he cut down on drugs? and i didn't understand why bobby kept going in and out of jail..and if hellen betrayed him at the end, why did he get back together with her?..the first time bobby was in jail, why was hellen so upset with him when she visited him? did hellen end up seeing her relatives or did she just have sex with that guy?

thank u!!..sorry for so many questions..lol

The job Bobby got was selling Heroin for Santo.He got it through some contacts he met in jail. Hank used Helen's addiction to get a piece of his brother's girlfriend (Helen). Would You hate him? I would. However blood is thicker than water, and dope is thicker than blood (sometimes). When he got the job they were all using more than ever (yet always running out). Yes, she betrayed him to save her own junkie hooker ass, but love and addiction will make you do some crazy things. Some say they are the same bio-chemical reaction, but that's a different post. Helen blew off her mother's friends (not relatives), & ended up just turning a trick. She was presumably upset with him because she wanted to leave & go to the country, and clean up, while he wanted to stay on the street and do dope. Bobby goes to jail twice, once when his brother Hank leaves him to get busted on that break in, and once when his prostitute wife rats him out.

I love this freakin' movie so much!

Lol, Superlove, I can tell you don't like Helen.

I copied this movie off a tv movie channel at midnight one night, just because it had Pacino in it (I am so in love with that man, it's stupid) and it became my favorite movie ever. YEAH!
