Crisis

Well made, good pace and a decent watch. The casting is somewhat odd, not that the acting is bad it's just that different actor's would have fulfilled the characters better. Is there anything new? Well no, it has been done before but it is a good movie and passed the time nicely.

Got news for everyone, this is exactly what happens. Big Pharma buys studies via funding universities and the members in the FDA and CDC move from executive positions in Big Pharma, Ag companies in and out of the FDA and the FDA approves things based on money for Big Pharma, Ag. They lay it out in a movie and people defend them saying don't attack Big Pharma. These are corrupt companies that laughed about the people dying of opioids and all the other toxic crap they make. Good story. I enjoyed it.

Drug crime movie. The main idea of the film is the fight against drugs and it shows it with three different stories that are somewhat connected. A university professor and researcher working on a new opioid painkiller for a company with the prospect of being non-addictive discovers that in the long run it is ultimately more addictive than those on the market and is called upon to make important decisions about how to proceed. A secret agent tries to set a trap for big opioid dealers and takes it personally since his sister is addicted. A mother, a former opioid addict, finds out that her son is murdered and opioid traffickers are involved. Three very interesting stories revolve around the world of opioids that kill countless victims every year. Experienced actors with serious performances, in a very good and serious effort to demonstrate the ongoing fight against drugs, a film modest and without immorality. From the good movies to the genre that is definitely recommended.

Three stories from three perspectives of the opioid crisis interweave together to try to show us the scope of the opioid crisis. A mother, A cop, A researcher. Undoubtedly, the whole picture is bigger. Crisis gives us a feel of the issue.

The movie is well done, technically. It's an above average movie. Not at all unenjoyable to watch.

Where it falls short is that it lacks fire in the belly. Granted, we see some sparks delivered through the acting of Gary Oldman, Greg Kinnear, Evangeline Lily, and Armie Hammer. However, the plot and dialogue lack bite to stand out or to be memorable.

Still, the opioid crisis is a subject worth delving into.

If you liked the movie crash or traffic you'll definitely like this movie. It's filmed very well with good acting and with a great cast. It's worth the 2 hour watch time I highly recommend it. Probably one of the better movies so far in 2021.
