The one reviewer that said it wasn't realistic because they only had one dealer, obviously didn't watch the movie. I found the situations they were in pretty realistic having been an addict. However, they didn't look that dope sick, but that probably wouldn't have been practical for an entertaining movie. However, given their financial situation perhaps they were barely getting well and their physical addictions weren't that bad at the time. I have been there as well, heroin can be just as much mentally addicting as it is physical. You convince yourself you are sick and need a hit when you are just a little uncomfortable.

Three junkies team up to take the sometimes difficult task of just getting "straight" to start their day. To accomplish that task they must first find a way to fund the mission, then find a dealer (no dealer can tell time by the way). Run all over town trying to meet said dealer. The whole time all three are getting sicker from the the withdrawal of Heroin by the minute. This continues until you physically cannot function, at least for me in my experiences. Raw gritty truthful dialogue of how the drug consumes your life. The real hard truth brought to your living room.
