How does it end?

Thank you for not saying " I'm not telling , watch it for yourself" It was a very moving movie that would have better if they didn't say the "f" word 5 times in a scene.
But I cant watch it on my own because as I said it scared the crap out of me. -

I said in my orginal post I can't. I get scared easily and do not like people cussing about 5 times in one scene - I counted it . I have a potty mouth myself but I would never cuss so much that every other word is the " F" word. It doesn't make you cool , your actaully making an a*s of yourself .

Kathy Baker's character is killed, leaving Daryl desperate and lonely, but he ends up getting his one-month chip. As the credits roll, Van Morrison's
Domino
plays, with the lyrics
Don't wanna discuss it, think it's time for a change
signaling that, well, it really is time for a change. So it kind of ends on a somewhat sad, but hopeful note.
I don't mean to impose, but I am the Ocean. -

I've said this before, but as a person with almost 20 years sobriety, it's the closest Hollywood treatment to addiction and recovery. Daryl has lost his job, his female companion and his future is unclear - but he does has his dignity, friends (in program) and that 30 day chip to show it can be done.

Congrats on your sobriety. Perhaps due to it's realism, it's not a warm fuzzy kind of film. But it is spectacular. I was sad to see the 6ish rating. It was the first time I saw Morgan Freeman in anything. I didn't know he would become a star, I just knew I would forever be a fan. The whole cast was superb.

Thank you very much! I hit 20 yeas in August, I was kind of glad because it takes the pressure off. And you're right, it's not really a feel-good kind of flick as Darryl's arrogance and aggravation of not getting what he wants really shines through. Even that bit with him sarcastically calling Chuck a 'delicate young thing' and her response was natural in the real world. Freeman was outstanding, the guy that as heard every excuse and seen it all.
