Addiction Incorporated Ratings & Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
A straightforward, effective mix of talking heads and newsreel footage.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Evans mines enough fresh info from the story that it feels at times familiar but not redundant.
Boston Globe
Loren King
Once it finds its footing in old-fashioned journalism, the film packs a wallop.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
While it's satisfying to see fat cats tamed by science and an enraged public, the movie misses the opportunity to sustain the pressure.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Rather than relying only on archival footage and a parade of talking heads, Evans mixes it up with reenactments of episodes in the past. It's subtly unobtrusive and effective.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"Addiction Incorporated" follows tobacco's journey downhill from respectability.
Philadelphia Inquirer
David Hiltbrand
While its thoroughness is laudable, its pacing is deadly. And the events and attitudes depicted already have become curiously passe in less than a decade.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
DeNoble is an ideal subject, a riveting, passionate storyteller who witnessed industry shenanigans first-hand a full decade before they were exposed to the public.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
Anybody who's remotely interested in this topic already knows everything "Addiction Incorporated" has to say.
Playback:stl
Sarah Boslaugh
Addiction, Incorporated feels more like a well-made educational documentary rather than something you'd care to see in a theater.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Straight-shooting, hard-hitting and fuming with contempt for the tobacco industry, "Addiction Incorporated" would be almost too exhausting to watch were it not for the folksy charm of its star witness.
Slant Magazine
Joseph Jon Lanthier
The baroque depths of the tobacco industry's insidiousness notwithstanding, exposs have been telling the same unsurprising story for the last 10 years.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
It's engrossing, even if it does lack the element of surprise.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Producer Charles Evans Jr.'s directorial debut finds an engrossing suspense angle in the involvement of Victor DeNoble, an idealistic scientist-turned-whistleblower whose suppressed corporate research became the bombshell catalyst in that struggle.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
With a name that not even the PR team at Smokefree America could dream up, Victor DeNoble emerges as the hero of Charles Evans Jr.'s mostly muscular documentary on the 1990s campaign to expose Big Tobacco.
Boston Phoenix
Gerald Peary
Much of the first half of Charles Evans Jr.'s muckraking documentary is annoyingly gimmicky...
Reeling Reviews
Robin Clifford
...a film that should be shown in high schools and colleges. Victor DeNoble is a great role model with something important to say. I hope people listen.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
Charles Evans, Jr. makes an impressive directorial debut... While entertainingly constructed, (the film) suffers at times from a too-comical approach.
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
The one anti-smoking doc to see if you're only having one.
