Stories based on true-life situations are common place. This is primarily because us "normal" people are fascinated by others shortcomings. This movie, is none the less, very interesting and well done. It genuinely has the look of a 60's movie even though it was done in 1989.
We can only look at some of the characters, and if we are compassionate in any way, feel some sort of pity for the people portrayed in this movie. As such, the movie does as it should. It takes you from your own reality for a short period of time and gives you a glimpse at what real life is like from a different perspective.
I enjoyed this movie, as much as any true-based story. Maybe even a slight bit more as it doesn't need any of the over-used violence and blood of what most true-based stories seem to need. It is intense without Hollywood glamour.
