Pain Hustlers Review
Emily Blunt and Chris Evans star in this inspired-by-truth story of pill-pushing pharma types who bribed doctors and got rich before the authorities closed in. Opening in theaters on October 20th before premiering on Netflix October 27th, ‘Pain Hustlers’ purports to offer a stylish and snappy look at pharma company workers looking to score off of greedy doctors and desperate cancer patients.
Yet despite a decent cast that includes the likes of Emily Blunt, Chris Evans, Andy Garcia and Catherine O’Hara, it never quite comes to life in compelling fashion, and no number of flippant music cues or breezy transitions can make it work.
