Features: DVD
Drama about the wealthy, nihilistic, drug-using young adults of Los Angeles. Film focuses on dopehead Julian, straightlaced Clay, and Clay's girlfriend Blair, the latter two desperately trying to help Julian "clean up", but to no avail. In fact, Julian's problem becomes even worse, largely due to his sleazy, unsympathetic drug dealer.
"...Spader is creepy as a drug-dealing slug, Downey exceptional as a wealthy addict." Leonard Maltin's Movie & Video Guide
Editor's Note
Friendship is central to these characters as they try to find their way in the fast lane on the fastest track of all - the disengaged, super affluent, young Beverly Hills lifestyle. LESS THAN ZERO is based on Bret Easton Ellis's novel of the same name and stars Andrew McCarthy, James Spader, Robert Downey Jr., and Jami Gertz.

"...Stylishness that is quite spectacular....Downey gives a performance that is desperately moving..." 11/06/1987 p.C23Variety
"...[Spader] is terrifically smarmy....Visually, the picture is a treat..." 11/11/1987 Chicago Sun-Times 8 of 10
The movie's three central performances are flawless... [Downey's] acting here is so real, so subtle and so observant that it's scary... The whole movie looks brilliantly superficial, and so Downey's predicament is all the more poignant... - Roger Ebert
