Smokers (2007) Reviews

The fates of five marijuana smoking New Yorkers intertwine after a man arrives from Wichita, Kansas in search of some weed, and a violent robbery proves that sometimes we are more closely connected to one another than we might admit. Directors Mike Hull and W. Axel Foley take the helm for this pulpy urban neo-noir story that opens as Aaron arrives in the Big Apple in search of some smoke. After securing a sack from small-time Tompkins Park dealer Indo, Aaron comes into contact with Bill, who in turn leads him to mid-level dope-man Carlos. Carlos gets his weed from Paula in the Bronx. Most of the time these five disparate souls would simply go their separate ways after the money changes hands and the customer is satisfied, but today fate has something different in store for this country-boy stoner and his city-dwelling dealers. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
