Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

holly-42007 I found this movie to be extremely well done. It covers three families as they struggle with a loved one addicted to opiates...they started taking pain killers, then moved onto the less expensive heroin. Most films like this have a lot of newsy talking heads explaining how the viewer should interpret all of it. I liked that it had none of these, just a few black cards with statistics. THe movie is really a fast paced must see, especially for those with kids. Keep them off any prescription pain killers, or at least monitor carefully and throw the rest away (not into the toilet to contaminate our waters!) If you are looking for a good documentary that moves along, and really informs, this is it. It's a gem of a short film.

ethanrutt Something often overlooked now given a real run through. I loved the movie's message but the actual movie blew me away! 10/10 on all fronts! The cinematography is incredible. It is such an important issue that is not given a lot of attention in this political America we live in. Everyone needs to watch this movie. truly changes your views on what heroin has become.

charmarche As one who recently had spinal surgery and was offered pain killer (30 day supply!) upon discharge from the hospital and given no warnings about possible consequences, I was shocked to learn in the film how legally and professionally dispensed medicine can become addictive in a matter of just a few weeks, sometimes in a matter of days. The film should be seen by everyone or otherwise more people will stumble into the unknown darkness of addiction which has devastating consequences for the individual involved, of course, but also for the immediate family as well. This is a spiral of disaster and it is amazing that it can all happen so quickly.

Film Fanatic There are images from this film that I can't get out of my head. A toddler crying and screaming as her mother remains motionless on the grocery floor. The pain on a mother's face. The glazed look in someone's eyes. This film does what documentary does best, and that is to tell a human story. Seeing the personal pain experienced by these families is deeply affecting. It's shocking to learn how this private hell began with a visit to a doctor and legitimately prescribed pills. I'll never think of addiction in the same way again. This film is a clarion call and needs to be seen far and wide.
