Just when I'm sort of numb to watching euphemeral films, I come across a film like "Narcotic Addiction" and it just floors me with it's cheapness. The message IS there, it's just that this is quite possibly the most ramshackled, put together film you could ever ask for about such a topic. Complete with inappropriate stock music blaring (with sloppy editing), cheap camera tricks (the old zoom in! Zoom out! trick!) clunky sound effects, shaky camera work, and some sort of drug officer dude getting in and out of his car, this fi;m has EVERYTHING. This is a MUST SEE, you don't want to miss it.
