Very good, good acting, good story telling, good story. I adore serious films that actually make one realize the seriousness of the story, and this is one of those. Well worth watching - for people not looking for cheap action.
This movie just pull's you in, I thought that any movie telling 4 different stories would make it confusing but it was just the opposite the stories flowed perfectly into each other and each story is excellent, enjoy
If you liked the movie crash or traffic you'll definitely like this movie. It's filmed very well with good acting and with a great cast. It's worth the 2 hour watch time I highly recommend it. Probably one of the better movies so far in 2021.
Got news for everyone, this is exactly what happens. Big Pharma buys studies via funding universities and the members in the FDA and CDC move from executive positions in Big Pharma, Ag companies in and out of the FDA and the FDA approves things based on money for Big Pharma, Ag. They lay it out in a movie and people defend them saying don't attack Big Pharma. These are corrupt companies that laughed about the people dying of opioids and all the other toxic crap they make. Good story. I enjoyed it.
As a comment in the end credits states, more people die from opioid abuse every two years than all those who died in the Vietnam war.
This movie depicts a fictional story which could easily be true. Across the USA-Canada border, which has no walls, a small DEA group is setting up a drug deal to entrap the head guy, called "Mother". Meanwhile a lady architect's son is found dead, and a college professor doing drug effectiveness and safety valuations is pressured to suppress his result that show it may not be safe.
Filled with good actors and presented well, a good movie. At home on DVD from my public library, my wife skipped.
