    As somebody who’s dealt with both pain and addiction/dependency issues (shocker they’re often connected!), Matthew Perry’s death and the movie Pain Hustlers were like a one two punch. PH is excellent btw. But it just highlights what a fucked up world we live in.

    Stumbled across the movie Pain Hustlers on Netflix. Dramatized version of the opioid crisis brought on by pharmaceutical companies. All star cast and an interesting look behind the scenes of greed ruining lives. 3/4 stars.

    Excl: Chloe Coleman is Hollywood's go-to daughter. She had Chris Pine as a dad in DUNGEONS & DRAGONS, Emily Blunt as a mom in PAIN HUSTLERS, Adam Driver as a dad in 65. Now she's playing Brandon Sklenar's daughter in Warners' action movie F.A.S.T. www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

    Just watched Pain Hustlers… what a great movie, a total surprise I have to say. Watched it on a bored whim and very glad I did. Starring Emily Blunt and Chris Evans inspired by the Insys scandal, at a running time of 2hrs that frankly flew by.

    Scott Pilgram Takes Off was a lot of fun. The screenplay for Pain Hustlers is like if Wolf of Wall Street was a 90s HBO movie, merged with a cliff notes of the excellent Dopesick mini-series, and then directed utilizing every single cliche of the last 30 years.

    I've just watched 'Pain Hustlers', thoroughly enjoyable movie starring Chris Evans (not the ginger one) and Emily Blunt. I think Emily Blunt may be the new Meryl Street, she's amazing.

    📽️No Fantastic Beasts in David Yates’ PAIN HUSTLERS but its every bit as tiresome as his recent wizarding output. Emily Blunt is pretty good in a movie that asks you to sympothize with the immoral reps that knew they were supercharging the opioid crisis. Weird, but mostly bad. boxd.it/55umnr

    Watch Netflix miniseries Painkiller and the film Pain Hustlers as well as several documentaries to understand the incentives that turned American medical supply chain into drug pushers. Deregulated capitalism is a fatal disease.

    I watched "Pain Hustlers" last night. Went in expecting something derivative, but was actually blown away by the freshness of the story (and the fact that I didn't really know about the story before.) Great film. Check it out.

    They made a #JohnKapoor / #Insys movie and race-swapped the villain :D At least it’s the great Cuban-Am Andy Garcia and not, like, Cumberbatch. “#PainHustlers” (Blunt, Chris Evans, Amit Shah, Nflx).

    FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://www.firstshowing.net/2023/review-david-yates-pain-hustlers-lacks-a-more-careful-treatment/ "Pain Hustlers fulfills the basic requirement of explaining the harrowing true story effectively, but given its star leads and skillful director at the helm, it could have and probably should have been much better. While Emily Blunt and Chris Evans deliver strong performances, director David Yates falters in his tonal balance, treating the deaths of many innocent victims…

    Netflix has released the trailer for Pain Hustlers. This makes for a great reminder that Netflix does not properly pay creatives, so any actor and the writer of the film will not receive residuals no matter how successful this movie ends up being thenerdstash.com/pain-hustler...
