Is it still possible to tell a cautionary tale of spiraling drug addiction without inducing yawns? Making the protagonists a couple of nihilistic EMS wage slaves enlivens matters somewhat, but no amount of harrowing detail can disguise the fact that the story's trajectory is as predictable as the melody of an ambulance siren. Reel Goodies (0:26) Susan Traylor's performance as a babbling speed freak is the most arresting of its kind since Samuel L. Jackson jittered his way through Jungle Fever. The Last Detail Broken Vessels won for Best Feature at the 1998 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival.
