Product descriptionA hotshot real-estate broker with a substance abuse problem finds himself in trouble after borrowing money from his company so he \hides in a 21-day detox program.Genre: Feature Film-DramaRating: RRelease Date: 1-JUN-2004Media Type: DVD Amazon.comAfter making his mark in several hit comedies including Beetlejuice Michael Keaton startled critics and audiences alike with his acclaimed performance in this 1988 drama about one man s struggle against cocaine addiction. Keaton s comedic energy is transformed here into the kind of jittery intensity that s perfect for his role suggesting a driven personality who can maintain the appearance of self-control for only so long before he crashes and burns. After a series of setbacks Keaton s character seeks refuge in a drug rehabilitation program and must confront the truth of his own addiction at the urging of a counselor (Morgan Freeman) who s heard every lame excuse in the book from addicts struggling to quit. Kathy Baker leads a superb supporting cast as a recovering alcoholic and battered wife whose flagging self-esteem is boosted by Keaton s attention. Under the careful direction of Glenn Gordon Caron (of TV s Moonlighting fame) Keaton and Baker handle this delicate material with consummate skill and grace turning a potentially depressing story into a moving portrait of people who must battle their inner demons step by tentative step. --Jeff Shannon
