Dope was really great. After living in NYC I have a minor obsession with inner city life and found this an amazing expression.
"All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"
"Rick...it's a flamethrower."
Dope is awesome. Straight out of the '90s indie movement. Reminded me a lot of Gravesend, a film that doesn't get enough praise.
I shall have to check out Gravesend. Thanks for the recc!
