Certainly one of Louis' better documentary. It's really sad to see how horrible meth can make the lives of people and though (some) may obviously want to quit they just can't seem to keep away from the stuff. Though it's equally tragic to see people who voluntarily continue in the lifestyle. As usual Louis refrains from passage harsh judgment on his subjects and instead makes non-combative, but valid, criticism where necessary to get honest answers.

George W. Bush is a meth addict? That explains a lot.

In it's portrayal of 'meth heads' this was an enjoyable counterweight to the garbage TV constantly circulates.

I guess it would be difficult to make a doco about crystal meth and say something new about it -- this doco doesn't make any new claims or statements, but it's an enjoyable watch (in a new and unique form of enjoyableness).

It appears that in the absence of Walter White, meth is simply an uninteresting topic. Yeah bitch!

One of Louis' better docs. The people in this have a very twisted view of logic and rationality. I wonder if they were always like this and meth (and other drugs) were just a predetermined path or if the drugs really changed them this drastically. The human spectrum is amazing and here you see it nearly at the bottom. I have to admit it's tough for me to completely hate meth because goddamn I love me some Breaking Bad.

It is probably too much to expect very many new insights with a topic such as this, but through the choice of interview subjects this documentary proves more interesting than most (the couple who had been together for twenty years being the standout). My impression is that amphetamines in general seem to hold users in the grip of a more violent emotional torture than other narcotics. At least some reflection on the impact of current policing and incarceration policies would have been beneficial.

This TV documentary offers some interesting insight about people affected by one of the shittiest drugs available. Theroux carries on with his usual communication style and gets people to really open up. This is one of the better docus of his.

Meh, it's quite sad to see people who are so caught up in the drug stuff, that they can't get out.
