Shooting Heroin

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.

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.

Went in to this quite optimistic but as soon as I saw some of the old has beens from yesteryear and their poor acting I knew it was too good to be true. Poor old Sherilyn Fenn , I used to secretly fancy her when I was younger but sadly we all get old and our talents diminish and for her this is sadly true.

If you think this is going to be a revenge thriller akin to Death Wish vigilante style with plenty of action then forget it, this is one of those paramount wet sunday afternoon moralistic tedious goody two shoes movies for bored housewives and it will bore you to tears; that is if the dreadful acting and poor script does not finish you off first.

A lot of drinking in this movie. And a definite christian theme. I won't be recommending it to anyone.

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.
