The story itself is very bland, but the purpose of the director and the main creator should have been achieved. It is indeed a propaganda film that exhorts people to stay away from drugs, and has a great impact on the living conditions of drug addicts themselves, their families, and those who have lost their loved ones because of drugs. Sadness is portrayed very well. The film does not attempt to explore why Nic was addicted to drugs in the first place. Although it is somewhat conjecture when portraying the father-son relationship from childhood to adulthood, the film does not show it as an important content, so that the audience can Looking forward to a clear answer in the end, it seems that with the answer, the problem can be solved, and even the problem can be avoided in the future. But sometimes, a lot of things in life can't be traced back to the cause, it just happens, you don't know why it happened, and you don't know why you made that choice at the moment it happened, but it just happened , and then become a state that haunts you for a long time, you don't know when you can get rid of it, or whether you can get rid of it, just like you don't know how it came from, you can't explain its existence, And - at best - its departure.

This movie does not want to answer any questions, nor does it want to promise that the problem can be solved. The director just wants to show the urgency of the problem from all angles and let the public know about drug addicts. In addition to such a label, it is also Ordinary people, they may just be unable to get rid of drug addiction, not wanting, not willing to fall, and at the same time, what kind of pain their families are suffering, what kind of choices they are facing, these are things we avoid talking about - they need more help. But at the same time, Nic has repeatedly failed to live up to the efforts of his parents and kept relapsing also tells us that everyone needs help, but after all, life is a battlefield alone, no one can be someone's redemption, no matter how much love and dedication Neither...

    Sweet Tea's acting skills are too spiritual, only for a moment or two in the middle, I feel a little too hard to make people feel refreshed. The structure of the film is relatively fragmented, but it is not boring but rather compact, and the soundtrack is also good. Because of Amazon's investment, it is currently being released on a small scale in New York and LA, which has greatly exceeded my expectations in terms of the popularity of niche themes. At the end, I saw a lot of people weeping, but the one that impressed me the most was the car chase scene, which was moving.
