Crisis (I) (2021)
6/10
The Armenians can be trusted
20 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
This is a story about the opioid drug crisis told in three subplots of which only two come together. The DEA is working with Armenians to transfer opioids into the United States from Canada. They are also paying people to buy them from doctors prescribing them as a sting operation that failed to connect to the main plot. Neither one makes sense, but it is what our government does. The DEA agent has an addicted sister. A boy named Dave dies and his mother wants answers. These stories will connect. The unconnected story is Gary Oldman playing a good guy. He is a professor that tests opioids before they go to market. When all of his lab mice turn up dead, he creates issues.

This might have been better as two films. It was a decent crime drama with some action.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
