Movie Review By The Yard
Pain Hustlers on Netflix is an excellent movie that tells the story of Zanna pharma breaking into the pain meds market and making a ton of money.
In the film, a desperate working mother needs a job and she uses her street smarts to help build up the company.
The methods they used were less than legal and ethical. But, it worked.

It’s one of those fast paced films with parties and the big life, till the man comes a calling.
The movie is adapted from the true story in the book “Pain Hustlers” by Evan Hughes.
