Shooting Heroin

This movie plot had great potential but suffered from a lack of action.

I ended up picking up my phone about an hour in and it just never really grabbed me.

Not the worst I've seen but I wouldn't reccomend.

This is better than most reviews here give. Tough subject and Tough to view. Great plot twist at the end. Misery is real and Misery is hard to recreate. One of the reviews here admit they stopped watching at 20 minutes but blasted the entire movie. This is Misery drama. Don't expect to feel good. I recommend watching when you are open and willing to view another person's perspective. Drugs have impacted society in such a negative way. This community shares their story. Given a changed, it can be enjoyed. It is filed in a post covid - inexpensive - filmography style. Take it for what it is and don't expect more.

Cheap movie, primitive plot, bad acting. Who are these people who put 10/10? The film crew?

Yes, the acting is very meh.

Yes, there is a bit of religious meh involved.

But the 'Message' about legalized Opiod abuse is 'Very there' It is a powerful film about a small town facing an epidemic of legal drug abuse, & how the deal with it.

In my opinion the Big farma may ( tinfoil hat time ) negatively rate this low budget, throw away rental True(ish) story.

Wow. I've never been so fooled by a high IMDB score. I should have read the reviews too. Every minute you spend watching this movie is a minute you'll wish you had back.

It starts out very slow - and never picks up. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen but it just plodded along. And in the few cases where something did happen - such as when a civilian set up a roadblock to stop cars and search them - I could not suspend my disbelief.

The writers managed to make every character into a shallow, boring caricature of a person. Even the lady who lost two sons to opiate overdoses was barely sympathetic and quickly became tiresome.

Giving it 2 stars to be generous.
