This morning, I caught part of this early Al pacino flick on cable while I was preparing for work. It seemed pretty interesting, as it focused on heroin addiction in early '70s New York--a subject I unfortunately know too well due to the OD deaths of my older cousin and several of his shooting buddies in that time period. I only saw a few minutes of it, so I couldn't really form any kind of opinion, but I love Pacino in almost any role. Is it worth picking up as a rental? TIA.

Like many 1970s movies it seems a bit dated but it presents a time that people have forgotten. BTW, just so you you know, "Needle Park" is actually Verdi Park just above the 72nd St. subway station on the West Side IRT. How do I know? I lived in the Ansonia right across the street "in the day".
