well, to be honest, i was starting to wonder very early on where this movie was headed. i'm not from nyc, but i did live there for 4 years in my early 20's and we all went out looking for the same thing...some fun, some women, etc. i don't live that lifestyle anymore b/c i realized what was important and i ran hard from that, but i understand how Rick (Vin) feels at the end. when you play around too much, it's almost too late to recover when something good finally comes around. that fun is so temporary, and it kills your soul in the long run. i'm glad the message came around...just thought it could have come around sooner. very realistic movie...some of the characters annoyed me at times, but it was still very realistic. bravo!
