Release

The film premiered at the Rowland Theater in October 2019.[1] Then it was released on April 3, 2020.[2]

Reception

The film has a 61% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on eighteen reviews.[3]

Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "America’s opioid crisis would seem too dire a subject to receive shallow cinematic treatment. So it’s ironic, then, that Spencer T. Folmar’s thriller suffers from not quite being exploitative enough."[2]

Owen Gleiberman of Variety gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Shooting Heroin gives the emotions of vengeance a minor workout, only to come out the other side of them. The film argues, in theory, for a richer understanding of the problem."[4]

Alan Ng of Film Threat rated the film a 7 out of 10 and wrote, "Shooting Heroin is a good story and a good movie with the best of intentions."[5]

Carlos Aguilar of the Los Angeles Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, “ However, it never resorts to exploitative images in order to sear its point with gruesomeness, and that’s commendable.”[6]
