Critics Consensus

With its serious-minded story, Crisis aims higher than many crime thrillers -- but uneven acting and a spotty script mean the end result falls short of its goals.

3.5/5

I enjoyed Crisis. The performances are first rate and the tension builds throughout to a climax and then an aftermath.

3.5/5

It's a union of crime and politics of the kind that you might expect to find on one of the streaming services, but it's given extra heft by its broad canvas and ambitious segues.

For all of its good intentions, the generic Crisis isn't showing us anything new.

A relatively second-rate script and lackluster direction on Jarecki’s part leaves the film a sadly less than riveting experience.

While Crisis falls short of its potential, it's not a complete failure - it simply needed more attention to the story development.

Ultimately, it's hard to get emotionally invested with these thinly written characters.
