Crisis

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.
