Crisis is a 2021 thriller drama written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki starring Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly and Greg Kinnear.
Plot
There is a new drug in town (Detroit). While the streets and the young people consume a new substance, the laboratories manage to get others without addictive effects and a black market is settled between Canada, the United States, and the Armenian connection.
Our Opinion
It has a good story that it doesn’t want to spoil with styling.
Movie Reviews
“It’s compelling, relevant filmmaking designed to cover all aspects of this ever-escalating national-health issue (…) Jarecki’s tendency to streamline subplots doesn’t make ‘Crisis’ any less engaging·”
Peter Debruge: Variety
“Sprawling and serious but not nearly as involving as it should be, the pic (…) none of the storylines offers a surprise or tells us anything we don’t already know”
John DeFore: The Hollywood Reporter
