The New York Times

Dec 13, 2011

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.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

Boston Globe

Feb 23, 2012

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

DeNoble aside, Addiction Incorporated finds most of its heroes in Congress, the White House and federal agencies.
