Frank Scheck

The Hollywood Reporter

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.

Variety

"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.

For all of Folmar’s good intentions, Shooting Heroin doesn’t fully connect on its earnest messaging.

Rated: 5/10

High on Films

It is a film so confused between being a story that throws you into a whirlwind of emotional turmoil and a faith-based melodrama, that all it manages to become is a brooding, self-serious addiction thriller that is easily forgettable.

Rated: 1.5/5

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
