Light Sleeper is so good.

Brilliant work from Defoe. I love how they never resort to ex-junkie suffering a relapse for cheap drama. Defoe's character is clean and stays clean. The drama is about him wanting out of his environment without a plan to do so.

interesting. it's been a while since I saw it but I never made the connection between dead ringers and taxi driver.

both are contenders for biggest "hitting me like a freight train" movies.

after dead ringers I sat and stared at the blank screen for 30 minutes, in shock.
