A small town community comes together to eradicate the heroin epidemic from its midst by whatever means necessary. Urgency runs through the narrative veins of “Shooting Heroin,” an issue-centric drama on the opioid epidemic poisoning America’s working-class heartland.
Fond of stories underlined with religious faith, writer-director Spencer T. Folmar proposes two possible antithetical solutions: peaceful tactics that appeal to guilt or vigilante revenge.
Former “Quantico” series regular Alan Powell spearheads a large talent roster playing war veteran and single father Adam. Seething turmoil — perpetually visible on the actor’s brooding face — clouds him since his sister died of an overdose, so he joins forces with a mother who lost a son to drugs (a naïve Sherilyn Fenn) and a bloodthirsty hunter. Their often-futile efforts, equally disdainful toward pushers and users, divide the small town into factions.
Powell, at his best in scenes opposite “Raging Bull’s” Cathy Moriarty, exhibits the chops of a straight-laced leading man, one emotionally equipped to maintain our attention amid an excess of undeveloped subplots.
