Audience Member A group of teens find a stash of heroine and think they now have a quick payday, but things don't go quite as they planned. It's not a bad set-up for a juvenile delinquent B-picture, but the film is told in a pseudo documentary, Dragnet style of storytelling, which really robbed the film of any life and mad sit pretty dull. It's hard to believe that the future director of "The Empire Strikes Back", Irvin Kershner, was behind this film. Less surprising is that Roger Corman produced the film. "Trainspotting" this film is not. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member so so crime drama an early pic dealing with drugs and drug addiction. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
