Plot hole: Given contestants were carefully checked for steroids at show time, mainly by urine tests, it seems unlikely Jackie would have been allowed to compete once her steroid use was discovered.

6.8/10. A pretty decent crime thriller set in New Mexico in the 80's. Katy O'Brian is the real star here as Jackie a bodybuilder who's on her way to Las Vegas for a competition. While passing through town she meets and falls in love with gym owner Louise "Lou"Langstrom played an OK Kristen Stewart. She caves in to the pressure and desire to win by taking steroids offered to her by Lou. I honestly felt for Jackie as gosh knows how many women gave in to this dangerous practice due to the judges at all these Ms Olympias having their favorite contestants of Cory Everson, Lenda Murray, Iris Kyle, and now Andrea Shaw win year after year. Those four and some others like Bev Francis and Betty Pariso. It fits in nicely with the criminal thriller vibe this movie has, possibly the best movie Stewart's done since Still Alice. I see potential in O'Brian.
