Critic Reviews for Shooting Heroin

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (7)

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.

Hollywood Reporter
"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.

Owen Gleiberman

[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.

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

Folmar seems to have satisfied his target audience.

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

A hard-drinking ex-veteran and single dad -- named Adam in this more rugged than usual faith-based film -- teams up with a few neighbors to rain hell on dealers he blames for his sister's death by drugs.

Shooting Heroin may be a faith-based film, but it's also a real film, with a believable story and its own, well-earned moments.

Stephen Whitty
Film Racket
The handsome and brooding Alan Powell plays a military vet who sounds the enough-is-enough charge. "Heroin" is not so much about raw vigilantism as it is about standing up...

Tom Meek
Cambridge Day
Shooting Heroin is an action drama that tries to tackle de opioid pandemic across America with a harrowing story, getting some hit-and-miss results in the process.

Alejandro Turdo
Hoy Sale Cine
A gritty Christian film that still ends in soft rock and a foregone conclusion.
