Sweet Nothing (1996)

Angel (Michael Imperioli) and Monika (Mira Sorvino) had the kind of marriage nothing could come between. They shared an existence of simple pleasures and modest expectations. His middle-income job on Wall Street kept them in a tidy apartment just big enough for the two of them and their young son. Then, on the night of his daughter's birth, he takes his first inhalation from a crack pipe.

The lure of the drug haunt him and lure him back until he hatches a scheme to deal drugs. With Angel's hesitant support, Angel begins bringing home some material rewards. But with a constant supply of crack easily at hand, Angel falls into chronic use and a devotion to the high -- consuming more than he sells. Angel comes to a defining point when he finally realizes he would sacrifice everything to regain his simple life and win back his wife and kids. More »
