Body Brokers

Body Brokers is a film that means well and sends a message not only about drug addiction but how companies are exploiting the misery of these people by making billions of dollars . I'm just not quite sure the format of the film really works.

I did like the film. The performances are good , especially from Jack Kilmer (Utah) and Michael Kenneth Williams who I think is a massively underrated actor .

I just think the film isn't quite sure if it's a drama or a documentary and it ends up not fully being either .

It does send an important message about drugs and it's a war that can never be won but there is nothing stopping the United States stopping corporate greed and changing the rules on making money from desperate people .

Worth a watch .

I really enjoyed this movie. Based on a true and cruel reality on the streets of America. First, the script is amazing. It's not your predictable and usual one. It makes you think about life, death, money and drugs. Second, acting is pretty solid from the main cast. Last, this movie makes you think about how to end a neverending story?... I can't find an answer. Hopefully someone will have. So, overall a great drama. Enjoy it if you're in the mood.

What's good about this movie is that it opens your eyes on a community problem of drug addiction and how the treatment programs could be an issue themselves. What's not good in this movie is that it only focuses on failure stories. It's a bit slow as well.

The start and setup of this movie is decent and it tells an interesting story. However the financials are way out of whack and ruins any true insight. The wandering path is done adequately enough but it feels half finished and leaves an unsatisfied feeling at the completion. Maybe it's just me, but if you're going to make a movie about preaching the dangers of drugs and wanting people to change I think you need to put an effort into making a good film. Otherwise it's easily forgotten 5 minutes after watching it, like this one is.

I'm a fan of Frank Grillo and saw on IMDB that he was the star. I'd say he was in the movie for a total of 10 minutes. While it may have been a true story it was very slow.
