In the latest movie "Crisis" from 2021, viewers are taken on an intense and thrilling ride through the world of drug trafficking, government corruption and addiction. Starring Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer and Evangeline Lilly, the movie takes place in three separate storylines that all end up interweaving with one another as the plot thickens.

Oldman plays Dr. Tyrone Brower, a university professor who discovers a new drug that could potentially help those who are addicted to opioids. However, he quickly realizes that the drug’s manufacturer may not have the best intentions and may be hiding something from the public.

Hammer plays Jake Kelly, an undercover DEA agent who is trying to bust a drug smuggling ring that is bringing fentanyl from Canada into the United States. However, as he gets closer to the kingpin of the operation, he realizes there are some higher-ups in the government who may be involved as well.

Evangeline Lilly plays Claire Reimann, a mother who is struggling with her son's addiction to opioids. When her son dies from an overdose, she becomes determined to find the source of the drugs and bring those responsible to justice.

As each of these storylines unfold, the tension and danger only escalate. Along the way, viewers are introduced to a number of other characters, from drug dealers and users to corrupt officials and scientists. Each character plays a pivotal role in the movie's overall plot and helps to keep the story moving forward.

One of the most interesting aspects of the movie is the way in which it deals with addiction. Instead of painting addiction as a simple moral failing, the movie shows the many different factors that can contribute to addiction, including genetics, social environment and mental health issues. It also sheds light on the pharmaceutical industry's role in the opioid epidemic and how money and power can often come before the health and well-being of the public.

In addition to these weightier themes, "Crisis" is also a well-crafted thriller that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. The movie is expertly paced and the tension is ratcheted up scene by scene, leaving viewers unsure of what's going to happen next. The action scenes are also well-done, with a realistic grittiness that adds to the movie's overall feel.

The acting in the movie is also top-notch. Gary Oldman is, as always, fantastic, bringing depth and nuance to his role as the conflicted scientist. Armie Hammer is equally impressive as the determined DEA agent, while Evangeline Lilly gives a powerful performance as the grieving mother who won't rest until she gets justice for her son. The rest of the cast is also strong, with standouts including Luke Evans, who plays one of the drug smugglers, and Michelle Rodriguez, who plays a tough-as-nails undercover agent.

Overall, "Crisis" is a movie that manages to entertain while also shedding light on important issues that affect millions of people around the world. It's a well-crafted thriller that keeps viewers guessing until the very end, with a powerful message about addiction, corruption and the importance of the truth. Fans of the genre and those looking for a thought-provoking movie will not be disappointed by "Crisis."

Crisis is a 2021 thriller with a runtime of 1 hour and 58 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.2 and a MetaScore of 41.
