Clean and Sober

This was a very interesting situation, but like Coming home, I think the ending wrapped itself up too quickly. I liked the story arch in the beginning. Whereas most stories begin with the lead character in a comfortable status quo until the inciting incident begins their journey. Michael Keaton starts out just about as low as he can get, an alcoholic coke addict with a dead overdosed girl in his bed, who had recently embezzled and lost $90,000 from his brokerage firm. It sets up a very interesting situation. But then as the movie nears the 115 minute point the story seems to take a quick look at it's watch and decide to go ahead and wrap things up.
