Crisis

It tells three engaging stories that are equally engaging. The ensemble cast is pleasant to watch as well.

Very good, good acting, good story telling, good story. I adore serious films that actually make one realize the seriousness of the story, and this is one of those. Well worth watching - for people not looking for cheap action.

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.

...certainly not as good at the shill high reviews. The casting was great with decent performances, especially Oldman and Lilly who shined, and the (based on true events) story is certainly not your typical fare. I'm glad it wasn't "Hollywood-ish".

Young newb filmmaker Nicholas Jarecki produced, directed, wrote and cast himself in this interesting story that lacked the thrills one would expect from a drama "thriller". The intertwining stories had some plot and technical issues and could've been told with better continuity. But they did flow rather well.

His directing was good, but the somewhat slow pacing for the 118 min runtime felt dragged out. Some acts should've been paced faster, and some scenes either cut down or out. And he certainly could've directed some of his cast better. The score was good, but could've used a little more up-beat "thrilling" tones. But for a young newb filmmaker wearing that many hats, he did good.

The fact this was based on true events added shock value for the lack of great thrills, and thus made for a good watch. Would I recommend it? Yes. Would I watch it again? Probably not. It's a solid 7/10 from me.

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.
