The story is mature and cerebral and Crisis has an excellent cast who give great performances, but despite ticking so many boxes - including atmospheric cinematography and good aerial footage too - it still doesn't quite ring the bell at the top and become an impactful or memorable film. The drug dens could have been seedier, the violence gorier, the pharma execs more menacing and the human life v. Profit arguments more volatile. Worth watching but with its alarmist title and dark subject matter you might be expecting more action, anguish and general unpleasantness - and like The Peacemaker, Crisis plays it safe.
