Time: 155 minutes
Eddie Adams is high school dropout
still living with his parents in Torrance, California. While working as a
dishwasher in a Reseda nightclub, he is spotted by porn filmmaker Jack Horner.
With his natural good looks and the perfect physical attributes for the job,
Eddie becomes a massive star in the porn industry, under the assumed name of
Dirk Diggler. His fame brings him money and everything he could ever desire,
but the fall from grace comes quick enough as the adulation goes to his head,
while drugs affect his senses.
This is a great film, and it was so nice to revisit it so many years later. With a great cast, compelling characters, and effective storytelling, it is hard to find faults in this one. All things considered, this is one of these movies that I could watch again and again.
