The Opioid Issue in America is Captured in “Crisis” on Amazon Prime
Ready to nail someone: Armie Hammer plays a driven DEA agent in one of the three opioid-epidemic storylines of “Crisis.” The film also stars Gary Oldman and Evangeline Lilly.
“Crisis” is a thriller that focuses on the rising opioid issue in America, starring: Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Rodriguez and Guy Nadon. From the film’s opening moments, it is clearly going to be a tension filled story with a conscience. The real question is whether it can live up to its own lofty expectations.
This gives a grander scale to opioid issue.
In order to give the story full weight, director Nicholas Jarecki presents three different storylines. This enables Crisis to look at the problem from different angles. This includes entering the boardrooms of big pharma to following addicts.
A drug trafficker arranges a multi-cartel Fentanyl smuggling operation. An architect recovering from an Oxycodone addiction tracks down the truth behind her son’s disappearance. A university professor battles unexpected revelations about his employer, a pharmaceutical company bringing a new “non-addictive” painkiller to market.
