Very well executed

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

Best movie ever!

This is not normally my kind of movie, but I checked it out because Jonathan Jackson was in it. And also because of user reviews I had read that said it was a must watch movie. It was for sure one of his best roles yet. He made me believe he was that character, and had me on the edge of my seat. His emotions are just amazing, and I was blown away. As a person who watches the show Intervention, I can say this movie shows more than you will see in that show. You see how even the nicest of guy's or girls can turn into addicts, and just how bad the downfall can be. I feel like I learned much more about addiction.

If anyone has knowledge on where I can either buy or download or anything to get hold of a copy of this movie its always been 1 of my favs and I love Johnathon Jackson from when he was on the soap opera General Hospital When he chose to leave General Hospital show I was devastated. I've checked everywhere including EBAY but only available in england or something PRICE with shipping would have been outrageous I think my best bet would be to find a website that i could download it but none of the searches I've done keep turning up nothing..... plse help IM desperate. I truly loved this made for TV movie trapped in a purple haze but most of I would like to show it to my children I have 3 boys Kyle who is 18 years old Kody who is 12 years old and my little guy Keegan is 4 years obv the movie wont do any good for him but the other 2 I think it does a wonderful job explain how drugs can really mess up your life and your family's life no matter what your life status is and how much you already have.

Max Hanson (Jonathan Jackson) feels pressured on all sides. His mother wants one thing for him, his friends want another. Max isn't sure what he really wants for himself. Then he meets Molly (Carly Pope). Molly is everything that Max isn't. Free, happy, open. He starts dating her, and she gets him on drugs. Turns out she isn't so free or happy after all. And neither is Max anymore.We follow Max in his downward spiral to addiction. We see him begin to lose everything he has worked for, family, friends, hockey, school, painting... Instead, his life turns to one of drugs, sex, crime, highs, and lows.The acting is incredible, especially for a made-for-TV movie, and look for Hayden Christensen in a bit part as Orin Krieg, one of Max's friends (the hockey goalie and video store clerk). JoBeth Williams is outstanding as Max's overbearing mother.If you can find it, this one is worth viewing.

Wow. What can I say? This flick was great. It showed addiction from all aspects, which you don't see too often on TV. I thought that the scene where Molly is on her cot was really riveting. The scene when Max came to his house was a really powerful scene in the flick. This is a movie all teens should watch. Hopefully it will be repeated in the near future.
