Typical Hollywoood - effective, but not very realistic.

Rating: 6/10 (23 October 2013)

I know there have been a lot of reviews written on this movie and I agree with many at the many holes in the plot. It's very artistically done with the sound effects and special closeup filming, but it goes way out in left field on content.
Perhaps that's on purpose. Just like Reefer Madness was created to scare pot smokers, this will scare drug users of any kind.
I think it started out good and built up very nicely, but towards the end it got to be too much to believe.
Firstly, how many doctors will put a woman on 4 different weight loss pills and not care to monitor her progress or stop her from taking too many? Secondly, any drug user would have to have the sense to know to use a different vein after a while, wouldn't they? And thirdly, why does a perfectly attractive young lady end up being forced into prostitution when she could work for a living? Lastly, no health-care system will take an old lady and force feed her and then put her on electroshock treatment without really knowing what's wrong. At least not in the US, but that may be changing soon.
Perhaps this is where health-care in the US is heading now. Who knows? All in all a craftily done movie, but not worth much more than a 6/10.
