“Thank you, and welcome to my class.”

From Crisis.

When a drug-runner is captured crossing the American-Canadian border, it sets of a deadly series of events. Undercover DEA agent Jake (Armie Hammer) and his partner, Stanley (Nicholas Jarecki) have spent over a year building a drug trafficking case against the American-based Armenians (Adam Tsekhman and Michael Aronov) and their Canadian counterparts (Guy Nadon and Eric Bruneau), but when a new supervisor (Michelle Rodriguez) takes over the investigation Jake is given two weeks to makes the arrests needed to close the case. Jake dives in completely and recklessly to making the case, with news that his sister, Emma (Lily-Rose Depp), has checked herself out of rehab again the only thing that can distract him. Contracted by Northlight Pharmaceuticals developers (Veronica Ferres and Luke Evans) to run a study on their new addiction-free painkiller, Klaralon, university researcher Tyrone (Gary Oldman) discovers some dangerous truths about the drug that is about to be approved by the FDA. While Tyrone’s boss (Greg Kinnear) pushes him to let the test results go, he reaches out instead to an FDA employee (Kid Cudi) with his findings, resulting in threats and challenges to his job. When former addict Claire’s (Evangeline Lilly) teenage son, David (Billy Bryk) is found dead, the police label it an overdose, but Claire is unwilling to believe that her son was an addict without her knowledge. So Claire hires a private investigator to prove David wasn’t a user, then she starts moving through his friends to find out why he was murdered. As Jake tries to finalize a big bust and Tyrone grapples with what to do, Claire finds herself slipping deeper into darkness as she searches for her son’s killer.

This dramatic thriller has several seemingly unrelated storylines that quickly weave together in a series of unexpected twists and developments. The large cast is talented and easy to keep track of while the story progresses. The subject matter can be dark at times, but there is a strong believability to the events that will keep Crisis viewers on the edge of their seats from start to finish.
