The hunt is on for those supplying all the drugs, by a police force who behave just like the thugs, as they track the felons down, hunting down all over town, before they're hooked like fish and sent to see the judge.

I thought this was a spectacular piece of filmmaking, it flowed effortlessly from start to end, the story building superbly with each subsequent piece elegantly dovetailing into the next. It leaves you with a view, albeit a cinematic one of a world of addiction, corruption and exploitation, especially of those with little to lose except their life, which depending on where you sit in the pyramid, will come at your own hands, those around you or the state. The only niggle is the unpalatable process of state executions that those in more civilised parts of the world find so disturbing.
