America's opioid crisis would seem too dire a subject to receive shallow cinematic treatment. So it's ironic, then, that Spencer T. Folmar's thriller suffers from not quite being exploitative enough.

"Shooting Heroin" gives the emotions of vengeance a minor workout, only to come out the other side of them. The film argues, in theory, for a richer understanding of the problem.

[I]t never resorts to exploitative images in order to sear its point with gruesomeness, and that's commendable.

An important movie that works as an honest depiction of a community's struggle to eliminate the lethal threat of an opioid epidemic.

Rated: 3/4

Take a faith-based film and run it through the Death Wish template, and the result is Shooting Heroin.

Rated: 2.5/4

I was with this movie as far as messaging but the tonal shifts didn't work. It's not awful but just messy.

Rated: 4.5/10

Very impressed with the writing, the acting, and most importantly making you think. It's not just the user who is effected but their whole family and friends. The movie also shows kindness and understanding at the end. Even though the character who sold heroine to Adams sister is in a bad way, he realises he as a user the guy isn't in control unlike a dealer who doesn't take the drug
