This, along with Beetlejuice, Pacific Heights, Mr. Mom and Batman, is one of Keaton's best films. He was incredible as a coke addict and alcoholic. He was definetly cheated out of the best actor Oscar in 1988. Definetly check this one out.

I think Morgan deserved one too, this is such a damn underrated movie. People couldn't take Keaton's previous work as serious as this, though it was really serious and genuine. Great damn movie.
shareholy cow! dustin hoffman/ rain man won that year?
over keatons performance in this movie???
that is a crime.
keaton is IMO the single most under-rated actor in Hollywood.
he can do it all, funny, serious, drama, good-guy, bad-guy, whatever.
I agree. He's a great actor who has a tremendous range.

AMEN. Keaton is a god in the business.
shareThe crime here is he didn't even get a nomination. Underrated actor definitely. That speech at the end is one of the most memorable that I've ever seen. Proud to say that I seen this in the theater opening weekend.

Yeah, it's a true shame.
shareI totally agree that Keaton deserved an Oscar for this. If there is any doubt about a win then he at least deserved a nomination. This was one of the most realistic depictions of drug abuse that I've seen. The movie itself doesn't hold up all the way until the end, but Keaton is brilliant.
Gandhi baked is good.
Agree !
i hope you choke on your bacardi & coke!
