    Gripping, powerful and real.

    This film struck home to me as somebody who had dealt with addiction and has lost friends to addiction. The lead actor does an incredible job of showing you the realness of addiction and the different components of living with it. There's wonderful directing and cinematography that compliment the performances. Worth the watch!

    Don't waste ur time on this

    This movie could've been so much more but its to messy and has no time line. The bad acting of few makes is even worse

    Dramatic and gripping

    This film sets a new standard for down to earth realism and depiction of a nasty industry. The script, direction and acting are very professional. The story line is gripping and suspenseful. The only downside to this film is that it is not a show for everyone. It is gripping and pretty raw. /still well worth watching

    Better Than Expected

    It's not a great film, despite the raw material to be so. The film feels like it was rushed in production. But it's still worth a watch given that it's based on a true story. And Andrew Lawrence once again proves he's the most talented of the three Lawrence brothers. He's handsome, sure. But more importantly he's emotive and full of range. In one scene he's naive and innocent, and in the next scene, he's manipulative and disturbed. Yet it's all wrapped up into one seamless character. He quite literally saves the movie. In a lesser actor's hand, this could have gone comically wrong. Basically, I recommend this to any AL fans out there. Otherwise, it's a crapshoot as to whether or not you'll like it.

    Hard-hitting drama

    This is more than likely not what you might expect. With excellent performances all round, this hard-hitting drama shows the pervasive problem of opioid addiction and its consequences. The characters are so vividly drawn that you can't help but feel their plight on a visceral level. Definitely worth a watch.
