Crisis

Three stories about the world of opioids collide: A drug dealer arranges a multi-cartel fentanyl smuggling operation between Canada and the USA. An architect recovering from an OxyContin addiction tracks down the truth behind her son's involvement in the drug business. And a university professor struggles with unexpected revelations about his employer in research, a drug company with great government influence that is launching a new „non-addictive“ painkiller.

“Oldman, as you might expect, is excellent here, so is Lilly, and Hammer is very fine as well (…).”

“It’s compelling, relevant filmmaking”

“Jarecki's tendency to streamline subplots doesn't make "Crisis" any less engaging, giving everything a pop, Michael Crichton-esque feel.”

• By Peter Debruge (in Variety and as top critic on Rotten Tomatoes, Feb 22nd)

“Oldman and Lilly shine in this crime thriller, but it’s the humanity and less obvious situations that are the most captivating of all.
