Another Day in Paradise is a 1998 drama film directed by Larry Clark, and released by Trimark Pictures. It is based on the novel Another Day In Paradise written by Eddie Little.
I was never a big fan of James Woods ( go ahead, hate me) but realising Melanie Griffith ( Oh yea baby! ) was in this film made me tolerate watching James Wood for 101 mins. The movie was about a teenage junkie couple (Vincent Kartheiser & Natasha Gregson Wagner) taken under the wings of two robbers (James Woods & Melanie Griffith) in the hope of a big score. They showed the teenagers the good, rich side of the crime & also the usual dark side of the career. Especially when their various drug robberies go disastrously wrong leading to dissent, violence and murder. Which was a waking point for the teenager (Vincent Kartheiser) who had already lost his child due to a miscarriage & then his girlfriend herself to an overdose in the midst of the robbing spree.
Overall i enjoyed the film & even James Woods acting. The whole show had a very realistic vibe to it, which allows you to feel sympathetic for the characters involved. I would definetly recommend watching it!
