You might need a painkiller after watching the overstuffed opioid thriller Crisis

There s a bit of violence in the opioid thriller Crisis, but the well-worn path followed by this earnest if heavy-handed issue film is not exactly strewn with corpses. Not literally at least.
A squeaky-clean teen (Billy Bryk) dies of a suspicious overdose after getting mixed up, inadvertently, with drug couriers. Some lab mice keel over after being fed a designer painkiller, falsely touted as nonaddictive. The bodies of a couple of shady characters connected to a fentanyl-smuggling operation involving Canadians and Armenians turn up containing more lead than is healthy. Then there are a couple more stiffs, by the end of the film.
