Stretch und Spoon teilen alles, auch die Drogen. Abgesehen von ihrer Heroinsucht sind sie ausgesprochen unterschiedliche Typen. Dritte im Bunde ist Cookie, Sängerin und Gelegenheits-Philosophin, mit der die beiden befreundet sind. Cookie ist clean, nimmt keinerlei Drogen – bis zu jenem verhängnisvollen Tag, als sie auch einmal Heroin probieren will, und sich prompt eine Überdosis setzt. (Puls4)

A sympathetic little film with distinct features of American independent productions about a duo of addicts who decide, in a sudden change of mind, to end their habit. The goal is noble, but the path to a detoxification treatment is unlocked by a key called a health insurance card, which, of course, the duo does not possess. The following odyssey, to obtain registration with the health insurance company, encounters not only a barrier of bureaucratic red tape but also a pair of mobsters who want to rid both friends of their worries forever. Some lines and situations are genuinely funny, although sometimes Tim Roth tends to overact and there are weaker moments in the film. Nevertheless, as a whole, the film belongs to the better part of American production from the 90s. Overall impression: 70%.

A rather pleasantly twisted film about two guys deciding to get rid of drugs after their friend overdoses, and they have to do everything they can to save her. Tupac and Tim Roth are quite good in their roles, and as a duo, they click quite well. It's not an absolutely breathtaking experience, but it's ultimately pretty decent.
