Crisis

Crisis (2021) is a crime drama thriller you can watch online on iFILM, written and directed by Nicholas Jarecki. The cast brings together Gary Oldman, Armie Hammer, Evangeline Lilly, Greg Kinnear, Michelle Rodriguez, Luke Evans and Lily-Rose Depp — each anchoring a separate storyline that the film runs in parallel.

A drug trafficker coordinates a multi-cartel fentanyl pipeline across the Canadian border. A woman fresh out of OxyContin recovery digs into how her son ended up dead in the narcotics world. A university researcher discovers the pharmaceutical company backing his studies is steering its own data to market a new painkiller it calls non-addictive. None of these people know each other. All three stories are the same story.

The film is closest in spirit to Traffic (2000) — the title is no accident — but its focus on the opioid crisis gives it a sharper, more current edge. Stream Crisis (2021) in good quality on iFILM.
