COMMUNITY REVIEWS

one submitted by lekendrick on August 28, 2011, 5:53pm it's a one disc trilogy, but it's none traditional heroin & pacing to production as opposed subject matter context? It plays like masterpiece theater, but has a gritty plot line over lapping multiple national borders & time periods epic whilst? Small!

too long, but a good quality movie. submitted by Tassos on March 26, 2021, 12:43pm Hey "one", its "HeroinE", not the... drug "Heroin"!!! Geez!
