Lots of news about the Sacklers and the opioid crisis. And that was made into a mini series. They weren't the only villains in this arena. There were others namely Indian born John Kapoor. For those who don't have patience for a mini series can watch this movie. This is another similar true story that is just as fascinating but less well known. Ever wonder about the prescription drugs you or family take? This is quite fascinating about the dangers of some meds. Also this movie reminds us that fentanyl is a painkiller for cancer patients. And we can see the beginnings of how it became a nationwide problem when abused.
Emily Blunt is likeable and totally watchable. She is too intelligent looking and sounding for the character's supposedly trashy origins. She stars as a struggling dropout who becomes a pharmaceutical rep selling drugs to doctors. It's fentanyl made for cancer patients. But they push the drug and pay doctors to prescribe them and later on for non cancer patients.
The villains are well played here. Evil pharma execs Andy Garcia and Chris Evans and evil doctor Brian darcy James.
