what doesn't kill you

what doesn't kill you is essentially a story set around working class boston, crime, prison, and redemption. it's worth seeing, because the main character has a choice. he can either continue to follow a losing path (crime) or he can do the right thing. work. support his family. even if his jobs are humble, menial, and discouraging. the thing i liked about this film was the 12 step program, the alcoholism treatment, that offers hope to all addicts, and a way out from the losing path, the downward spiral.
