This is a pretty good movie with a couple of twists that make it different from similar ones. The acting isn't great, but it's okay since it is getting the message out. The main thing that I have a problem with this movie about, and I have a lot of times with other movies about drug addicts, as I am a recovering addict, and my first round of you saying I got clean and was totally clean from alcohol and everything, never smoked cigarettes or anything else that wouldn't get me high, I relapsed and was out there again for 10 years and got clean again. After having major surgery last year, had no choice but to take pain pills, did okay at first, then start abusing them and then buying them on the street. I have continue to abuse off and on for the last year, but have been back on track for about a month now. The main thing that aggravated me about this movie is it made it seem like the girlfriend just tying up the female addict and seeming as if it was only one night or 24 hours is laughable. You will withdraw for more than 24 hours, but the physical part of it is just a tip of the iceberg. I wish that they would consult with real life addicts before they make these kinds of movies. The psychological part is the worst part because you have to change your total way of thinking, and isolation at rehab for at least 30 days, for most people it takes more than that if they don't have the strength enough to cut off the bad influences. And I'm not going to debate this issue, because I know it to be facts from personal experience and experience with other addicts, addiction is a disease that it can be managed and put into remission but you are sobriety has to be maintained. Anyone watching this movie with just think that you can tie someone up for 24 hours while they withdrawal and that's all it takes to withdraw and that the person is all fixed now is ridiculous not to mention misleading to those who already don't understand addiction. You are never totally fixed, nor cured, it's a daily battle.

Very funny movie, especially the dynamic between the Chinese woman raised in the USA and the one who immigrated here with her parents.

But it constantly pisses me off when TV shows and movies seem to have no clue about the difference in drugs and it is important to get it right.

They said that the white girl on the train had China White, which is heroin, NOT cocaine. And just a little bit of pure heroin, which is what it would have been with her being a smuggler, would have killed them all.

Even a lot of very pure cocaine would kill you if you did a lot in a short period of time like shown in the movie. It's just concerning because if young people would watch this movie and decide to use drugs if they aren't already using drugs, they would think that doing a lot of this stuff would be safe.

This was a really good movie. And I hate when people try to categorize movies as a "black movie". It's not about race or color, a good movie is a good movie no matter what. It has several twists and turns that makes you want to keep watching. A lot of movies that are supposedly good box office type movies suck, but we watch everything on our fire stick, and lightly we seem to be watching more on Tubi, Freevee, or even YouTube. Sometimes Pluto.
