It is a known fact that alcoholism is far more dangerous than smoking...In fact shows what can happen if one goes on a binge drinking...it definitely leads to disastrous consequences...
Ben (Nicholas Cage in one of the greatest performances ever committed to film) and Sara ( Elisabeth Shue looking hubba hubba is surprisingly effective as a perfect counterfoil to Ben ) as the prostitute with a heart of gold ( sounds typical but much better than the trashy Pretty Woman ) ...when they first meet in the “ sin city” Las Vegas they decide that they will not change each other...
The movie is hard hitting and realistic....when i first saw it i felt really depressed...many scenes linger on in my mind even now like Ben collapsing in the casino , Ben proposing to Sara , Sara being raped by three teenagers and Ben's death at the end...
Adapted from a novel of the same name by John O' Brien who actually committed suicide before the movie released, the movie is not for everyone but i cannot deny the movie's lasting impact on me.....Especially the final image of Sara after Ben has died
