Addiction Incorporated

While it's satisfying to see fat cats tamed by science and an enraged public, the movie misses the opportunity to sustain the pressure.

Once it finds its footing in old-fashioned journalism, the film packs a wallop.

"Addiction Incorporated" follows tobacco's journey downhill from respectability.

Charles Evans Jr., making his directorial debut, tries to liven up this old story with re-enactments. But the animated segments he inserts come off as goofy, not gripping.
