Pain Hustlers (2023)
7/10
Don't watch before bedtime !
29 October 2023
This movie is polarising, no question about it. The subject is controversial. Fentanyl. Big pharma. Doctors and scripts.

I started to watch it and at first I thought it was a documentary. It's not.

I nearly pulled out at the beginning. However, the storyline of this young woman who wanted to survive by becoming a sales rep got my attention.

Her struggles, her meteoric rise to fortune from her down on her luck situation.

Casting is very good, quite believable characters although it's perhaps a caricature of the industry and the opioid crisis ? That I don't know.

One thing is certain: the movie left me disturbed and a little agitated. Hence, not a good idea to watch this movie before going to bed.
