Samad is nobody’s fool. The narcotics officer has seen his share of a drug dealer’s lies and games, and his patience has come to run thin. While searching for the infamous drug baron Nasser Khakzad, he and his colleague Hamid scour the streets of Tehran, turning an overcrowded prison on its head. With his rough and dubious approach, Samad finally manages to find the criminal’s whereabouts – but things do not quite go according to plan...

Tense Iranian crime thriller. The first chase sequence is gripping. Payman Maadi (A Separation, About Elly) is convincing as the lead detective trying to catch a drug baron flooding the streets of Tehran with crack and opium. But the standout is Navid Mohammadzadeh who delivers a beast of a performance here, shockingly good. The film feels a little overlong at the 2 hour mark and gets very shouty in the middle, But it's well crafted and another of those morality tales from Iranian cinema. 7.7/10

Like an S&M priest, _Just 6.5_ is hard-core and more effective when it isn't preachy. This look at the inside of the Iranian crack epidemic and the justice system that's fighting it doesn't really bring anything new to the table but the top notch directing (Saeed Roustayi), the duo of actors in the lead roles (Payman Maadi & Navid Mohammadzadeh), and the fact it was filmed in Tehran elevate this familiar cops and dealers story into art.
