Just 6.5 is an action thriller film that set a new box office record in Iran. From the beginning, the film moves tremendously fast by showing narcotics squad detective Samad chasing drug dealer Nasser. A typical genre film would double the catharsis by placing the process of chase and arrest in the climax, but in this film, the scene where Samad successfully capturing Nasser appears in the middle. However, the film actually starts from here. The prison where Nasser is locked up is a mess and even Samad is out of control. Like the title, which refers to the 6.5 million drug addicts in Iran, Samad’s attempt to get rid of drugs on the streets seems like the vain work Sisyphus repeated in Greek mythology. [MOON Seok]
