IHRE BEWERTUNG
Body Brokers (2021)
Utah and Opal are junkies living on the streets of rural Ohio until a seemingly chance encounter with the enigmatic Wood (Michael Kenneth Williams) brings them to Los Angeles for treatment. While Utah finds sobriety with the help of the treatment center shrink (Academy Award®-Winner Melissa Leo), he soon learns that rehab is not about helping people--it's merely a cover scheme for a multibillion dollar fraud operation, enlisting addicts to recruit other addicts. Seduced by the money, but troubled by the hypocrisy, Utah must decide between what will make him rich, and what will save Opal.

    A unique tale, a bit overdone and barely alright

    The start and setup of this movie is decent and it tells an interesting story. However the financials are way out of whack and ruins any true insight. The wandering path is done adequately enough but it feels half finished and leaves an unsatisfied feeling at the completion. Maybe it's just me, but if you're going to make a movie about preaching the dangers of drugs and wanting people to change I think you need to put an effort into making a good film. Otherwise it's easily forgotten 5 minutes after watching it, like this one is.

    A good movie, a bit slow though

    What's good about this movie is that it opens your eyes on a community problem of drug addiction and how the treatment programs could be an issue themselves. What's not good in this movie is that it only focuses on failure stories. It's a bit slow as well.

    Great story about life, death, money and drugs

    I really enjoyed this movie. Based on a true and cruel reality on the streets of America. First, the script is amazing. It's not your predictable and usual one. It makes you think about life, death, money and drugs. Second, acting is pretty solid from the main cast. Last, this movie makes you think about how to end a neverending story?... I can't find an answer. Hopefully someone will have. So, overall a great drama. Enjoy it if you're in the mood.

    An Intriguing Film

    This film begins with two masked thieves named "Utah" (Jack Kilmer) and Opal (Alice Englert) robbing a convenience store and then deftly escaping from the police with their stolen money. That same night they buy some heroin to satisfy their drug addiction and subsequently pass out on a bed in a cheap hotel room. The scene then shifts to a day or two later with both of them essentially broke and homeless. It's then that a man by the name of "Wood" (Michael Kenneth Williams) observes their plight and invites them inside a local diner for a free meal. While there he tells them that he was also an addict a few years ago and encourages them to go to a rehabilitation center on the West Coast. Although Opal is adamantly against this idea, Utah eventually decides to take him up on his offer and gets admitted. What he doesn't know is that Wood is a recruiter for this particular rehabilitation center and gets paid each time he refers someone for admission. Not only that, but if they should relapse, he also gets paid for any readmission as well-and therein lies the problem because it actually benefits Wood when this happens. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was an intriguing film which potentially shines a spotlight on a major problem within out medical system. Having said that, however, let me also say that this is not a documentary and it doesn't reference any peer-reviewed documentation to bolster its case. So, regardless of all of the facts and figures it might stipulate, the only thing for certain is that this a movie--and for the reasons just mentioned should probably be treated as such. To that point, it should go without saying that Hollywood has a tendency to embellish things when it suits their purpose. Therefore, since I honestly have certain doubts, I won't speculate on the accuracy of any allegations made in this film. What I can say, however, is that it was an interesting film for the most part and for that reason I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.

    Enjoyable drug and rehab movie...

    Initially I had been putting off sitting down to watch the 2021 movie "Body Brokers" on the account that the synopsis didn't really sound all that interesting. And the movie's cover wasn't exactly eye-catching. So it wasn't before now in 2022 that I got around to watching what writer and director John Swab had to offer.

    And I will say that "Body Brokers" certainly was a good movie. It was a somewhat tough story, as it was something that struck home and left a lasting impression. And that was the combination of some good writing from John Swab and the spot on acting performances by the cast ensemble.

    The storyline is all the more hard-hitting as this is something that is based on actual events, and the whole thing with substance abuse and battling it is just not an easy pill to swallow - pardon the pun. But it was exactly that which made "Body Brokers" a good movie.

    "Body Brokers" has a good cast ensemble with Michael Kenneth Williams (playing Wood) and Jack Kilmer (playing Utah) in the lead roles. And they definitely put on stellar performances and gave life to the movie in a very fulfilling manner. The movie also have Frank Grillo and Peter Greene on the cast list, so there are some familiar faces.

    While "Body Brokers" certainly is a good and watchable movie, I doubt that I will ever return to watch it a second time, as the storyline just doesn't have enough contents to it to support more than a single viewing. But if you get the chance, and haven't already seen "Body Brokers", then it is something I would suggest that you do, because this is a hard-hitting movie.

    And without spoiling anything, then I will say that the ending of the movie really got to me. It was an ending that you saw coming, but it was at the same time an ending you didn't want to see.

    My rating of "Body Brokers" lands on a six out of ten stars.
