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.
Till it all came crumbling down.
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.
Remember this is a review of the movie not the book. They are not always the same.
The film stars Andy Garcia, Emily Blunt and Chris Evans. It was directed by David Yates.
The movie is available on Netflix.
