Crisis

About This Movie

Crisis (1997) delivers a gritty, raw slice of life in the underbelly of crime. The tone is heavy, and it’s got this pulsing tension that keeps you locked in. Alex’s dual life as a mob debt collector and a shoe salesman for his brother Tony creates this interesting dynamic—talk about family drama amidst chaos. There’s a certain authenticity in the performances, especially as Alex's world unravels around him. The pacing is a bit erratic, which might throw some viewers off, but it adds to the disorientation of the characters. The practical effects are decent for the time, grounding the action in a way that's often missing in today’s CGI-heavy landscape. It’s not a typical action flick; it fuses drama with a palpable sense of dread, making it rather distinctive.
