Story Of A Great Movie

i bought this movie about a year and a half ago but i didnt watch it untill about two weeks ago. i thought that it was a real great film about drug use. i have never used drugs in my 21 years on this plant and watching a film like this makes me remember why i dont. i love the TROMA TEAM for getting these small indie films out to a bigger audiences. and if it wasnt for Troma, i would have probally never seen such obscure films as Combat Shock(with is my favorite film ever), Killer Nerd, and so on. so i would ask you all to check this film out and other films that TROMA distributes. LONG LIVE TROMA!!!!!!!

Not for me

A Semi Documentary about the Drug Addicts in New York. Practically infamous with pretty worrying moments of possibly real drug taking.The aesthetics is really great and bordering to 'documentaric'. If you just raw dog it without reading any kind of information, you might actually think this is a real documentary. Its unnaturally grimy and nitty gritty.But the story is such a slag - given its short length. I wish it had a more cohesive arc to be honest. Its just too all over the place for my taste. Clearly this is a film meant to be half exploitation and half PSA, it just is never found its footing. It repeats itself at worst.
