HOW OTHERS RATED THIS MOVIE

ALCOHOL OR DRUG USE

David is a recovering alcoholic and he states early on that although he really craves a drink, he’s been dry for three years.

Since many scenes take place inside bars, there are many incidents of people drinking beer, shots of liquor and mixed drinks.

Early scenes with Robin show here to be alcoholic, and often she is rather drunk.

There is talk of drug smuggling.

A bartender snorts cocaine.

After Annie’s death, David begins drinking heavily and is seen drunk.
