is a love story, but its about the love of Heroin and how its
prolonged abused use destroys every other emotion.

Cox's film may as well have been done in cartoon form, as its
characters show the same amount of realism. Its one redeeming
feature is that even through its grim subjects, its tends to play
out relatively well as a comedy (save for the fact that this is
two real peoples lives being dealt with here). A more realistic
take on the story would have made for an absolutely brilliant
film - "ever get the feeling you've been cheated".
