Chasing the Dragon

This movie was seen on Lifetime-- Television for Women some years ago. Ms. Post portrays a professional gal who gets caught up in recreational drug use to all out abuse.. stuffing her China White heroin in her tampon boxes to avoid detection... Ms. Post is outstanding portraying the downward spiral of drug addiction. It is hilarious when she reaches bottom with her tasseled locks askew and darkened circles under her eyes. She breaks down her family, her relationship and begins raising hell at her children. This movie is best to watch on rainy late evenings during winter months. I recommend a bold Chardonnay and Reddenbacher popcorn. There are other films of this genre. One featuring Merredith Bastard Berney following another addiction... Basically any of these white bread women gone bad... Beats any "Caged Heat" Womens prison flick around**** four stars

I can't believe they do this kind of filth out of a serious theme. Totally unrealistic (they seemed to want it to be HIGHLY realistic but all the elements are based on clichés), real propaganda stuff. After seeing this, an addict probably just want to continue his/her career :-) I gave it 2.

I have seen "Chasing the Dragon" several times and have enjoyed it each time. The acting was superb. This movie really makes you realize how one bad choice at a weak moment can change your life.

i will like to order this movie for the women in treatment. i feel that this is a great movie for them to watch. i can't fine it no were i have been on ebay and all the other website to order this movie. now i am asking you for help to fine out where i can oder this movie at or what to do to get one. i will love to show this movie. yes i was like this movie and a lot of peoples here in treatment in to see how people can change there life around and move on. i think Markie Post played that move very well she is a great actor i love her movies. and if you have any other movie about addiction i will like to order them of the treatment center of women and men so that can look at other people go through what they go through in life.

I loved this film! Markie Post is really great in it. I saw it on lifetime, and it's in the same entertaining class as films like: 'The Betty Broderick Story', 'Locked Up: A Mother's Rage', etc.... {which, by the way, are also very good, entertaining films!} It's an over the top drama, about a single mother who tries to break away from her middle-class, predictable personality. This movie is just pure entertainment! It doesn't have to be a realistic look at heroin addiction. But, it does show how any "regular" middle class person can (& they do!) get addicted to heroin. Junkies aren't just homeless uneducated people on the street. {By the way, if you do watch it, check out how the kid bosses his mother around! Spoiled!} 8 out of 10 stars.
