This movie's so real, its scary. This gripping film about a family of drug thieves is based on a novel by convicted drug robber, a man who knows his subject well.
Addicted husband and wife team, Bob and Diane Hughes (Matt Dillon and Kelly Lynch), and a younger couple of thieves resort to robbing drugstores to stay high. Still, in spite of this tragic lifestyle, they share moments of compassion and humor.
The foursome skillfully skirt the law due to Bob's wits and superstitious nature until the day his luck begins to change. When his death appears inevitable, Bob realizes he must give up drugs and Diane to Survive.

Drugstore cowboy has that creepy feeling and dark visions junkies have to live with in their addictions.
It is an excellent movie, with brilliant characters/actors and a thight camera following the situations so realistic, its good to have a pause button. Kelly Lynch and Matt Dillon do have that "Oscar" acting. Why they didn't get it, might be because of the controverse theme?
Recommends the film without any doubts...
