Goofs
A heroin addict is shown in jail going through withdrawals. Nirnalmy, the first thing which occurs are physical symptoms, like vomiting, running a high fever, cold sweats, etc. This man grabs the jail cell bars an screams " I need a fix!" over and over. This is completely not authentic. So bad, it is like a cartoon.
