THIS ENTIRE THING IS A JOKE IF YOU'RE/HAVE BEEN A HEROIN/OPIATE ADDICT!! ESPECIALLY IF YOU FULLY WELL KNOW WHAT PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWALS ARE AFTER TAKING BUPRENORPHINE (SUBUTEX).
THE ENTIRE PLOT IS JUST FOUR DAYS OF SOMEONE BATTLING WITHDRAWALS UNTIL SHE'S ABLE TO GET A MONTHLY NALTREXONE SHOT. ANYONE WHO HAS ACCIDENTALLY TAKEN BUPRENORPHINE WHILST DEPENDANT ON OPIATES TOO QUICKLY BEFORE LETTING YOURSELF BE IN A FULL ON WITHDRAWAL STATE WILL KNOW HOW UNCOMFORTABLE THAT CAN BE, IT ESSENTIALLY FORCES ALL THE REMAINING OPIATES OUT OF YOUR BRAIN PUTTING YOU INTO PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWALS, HOWEVER THIS IS SOMETHING THAT AS UNCOMFORTABLE AS IT IS, IT DOES END WITHIN A MATTER OF HOURS.
I HAVE DONE THE ENTIRE PLOT OF THIS FILM MORE TIMES THAN I CAN REMEMBER. I HAVEN'T HAD THE SHOT OF BUPRENORPHINE BUT IVE TAKEN BUPRENORPHINE TOO SOON IN WITHDRAWALS BEFORE MANY, MANY TIMES. ITS AN ABSOLUTELY INDESCRIBABLY HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE...BUT IT DOES END IN A FEW HOURS 😂
THIS FILM IS LITERALLY JUST A VERY DRAGGED OUT FOUR DAYS, CULMINATING IN THE MAIN CHARACTER HAVING TO USE HER MOTHER'S URINE TO CHEAT THE DRUG TEST ALLOWING HER TO GET THE SHOT, WHILST SHE HAD OPIATES IN HER SYSTEM, SO THEREFORE HAD THE SHOT AND THEN ENDED UP IN PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWALS.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE COP OUT OF A FILM! EXCUSE MY CAPS LOCK, HOWEVER I AM GENUINELY SHOCKED AS TO HOW THIS MOVIE IS ON NETFLIX.
SO MANY OPIATE DEPENDANT/OPIATE FAMILIAR WATCHERS WILL BE LEFT THINKING "WHAT!? THAT'S THE PLOT... SHE JUST ENDS UP IN PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWALS BECAUSE SHE CHEATED A DRUGS TEST...RIGHHHT"
THE ENTIRE SUPPOSED BIG ENDING IS JUST SOMEONE EXPERIENCING PRECIPITATED WITHDRAWALS AND THEN IT TURNS OUT SHE MANAGED TO GET OVER THEM AND STAY CLEAN.
HAHAHA HONESTLY DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS FILM IF YOURE FOLLOWING THIS RAMBLE, I NEVER USUALLY BOTHER REVIEWING FILMS BUT THIS ONE WAS SO SHOCKINGLY ABYSMAL I FEEL LIKE I HAVE TO SAY THIS TO SAVE SOME PEOPLE'S TIME!
THERES REALITY TV SHOWS NOWADAYS THAT SHOW HOW DESTRUCTIVE HEROIN IS, TEN TO THE DOZEN! THIS 1 & 1/2 HOUR WATCH IS PRACTICALLY ONE OF THEM BUT A MOVIE. ITS REGRETTABLY TERRIBLE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ACTUALLY FAMILIAR WITH THE IDEA OF THE PLOT IN YOUR OWN LIFE.
-33/10!
