When the regulars get word that Foggy, a local junkie, is on the run with a bag full of money from a botched drug deal, they each scheme, back stab, and claw at one another in order to be the first person to find Foggy and take the money.With a Barton Street strut and a reckless, punk-fueled rush, Junkie Run serves up the chaotic adventure we crave from Kire Paputts twisted lens. -automaticjaneSometimes frightening and often hilarious, Junkie Run is an over-the-top romp through the hidden parts of Hamilton many of us would rather ignore. With a soundtrack that honours Hamiltons punk rock roots. -Graham Rockingham Junkie Run is beautifully, entertainingly and artfully imperfect. It makes imperfection an art form. It makes low budget into a quality, not a drawback. All I care about is filmmaking and Kire is the real thing. -Alan Zweig
