      This movie was a complete dissapointment. There was a real chance here to shed some light on the huge epidemic that is Meth in the U.S., but the film barely touched it. It did not accurately depict the seriousness of the addiction and the severity of it's hold on Americans, despite it's many efforts. American Meth could be impactful to some, but I feel many more people could have reached if it had been done better.

      This could have been good, but was very poorly put together. The film jumps around from presenting scattered bits of information about meth to overlong, drawn-out portraits of meth addicts and their various stories. Better editing and a coherent message would have made this a better watch.

      The story is good, I too beleive it lacks the punch. They flash over some of the bad stuff and stick with a poor off family which doesn't have much punch. Show the junkies, show that cop's website before and after. Could have been better, but worth the watch.
