Caught in the crisis are: Dr. Tyrone Brower (Gary Oldman), a university professor contracted by a major pharmaceutical company to run experiments on a new “non-addictive” painkiller before it hits the market; Jake Kelly (Armie Hammer), an undercover DEA agent with a troubled family who attempts to infiltrate an international Fentanyl smuggling operation; and Claire Reimann (Evangeline Lilly), an architect recovering from an Oxycontin addiction who is determined to uncover the truth behind her son’s suspected involvement in narcotics. Together, their worlds combine to illuminate the landscape of an ever-growing epidemic now touching every corner of society in a story of professional integrity, moral discovery, and love and revenge. In his second feature film, Crisis, Nicholas Jarecki (writer/director of the critically acclaimed Arbitrage) takes an uncompromising look at the opioid crisis with three parallel, inexorably linked stories inspired by real life events. Crisis is a dramatic, a...

Heist action laced with oodles of laughs. I LOVED it! - 8.5/10 - Stu Ant-Man will be Crawling over cinemas from this Thursday. If you see the film and agree or disagree with my thoughts feel free to drop a line below.

Author David Mitchell once charitably said of the film adaptation of his novel Cloud Atlas, “any adaptation is a translation … and I believe a degree of reinterpretation for the new language may be not only inevitable but desirable…”. So indeed were my sentiments about Peter Jackson’s stripping back of (and in many places adding to) The Lord of the Rings books to create his masterful trilogy concluded some eleven years back. The abandonment of plot-irrelevant or dramatically redundant scenes (novel fans will understand this to mean most notably Tom Bombadil or the Scouring of the Shire) and the embellishment of the novel’s only lightly-treated romantic plotlines served to create a film that was tauter and more emotionally engaging. Suffice it to say, I believe straying from the source material isn’t always heretical butchery; often its just good, audience-minded discretion.
