Everything We Know About Pain Hustlers
: The trailer hints at a tone reminiscent of Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, as Blunt and Evans' characters collaborate in covert money-making ventures. Although the trailer provides limited information about the storyline, it is evident that the duo's escapades will result in a blend of comedic and dramatic moments throughout.The real-life case of pharmaceutical company Insys and their unethical business practices is exposed in the book "Pain Hustlers" by Evan Hughes. The book sheds light on how Insys capitalized on the opiod crisis by deceitfully marketing drugs containing fentanyl as pain relievers. Additionally, the company engaged in various dubious activities to maximize their drug sales.
Netflix has recently released a number of projects related to the opiod crisis, including their most recent miniseries called Painkiller, which focuses on Purdue Pharma's involvement in manufacturing OxyContin during the crisis's early days. Similar to that series, Pain Hustlers is expected to delve into the operations of a company taking advantage of the drug crisis.
As details surrounding the movie's plot are limited, it remains uncertain how accurately it will depict the real story of Insys. However, with actors Blunt and Evans leading the film, it is sure to be an entertaining and educational experience for those unfamiliar with the true events. The extent to which Pain Hustlers represents reality or incorporates dramatic elements will be revealed in late October when the movie premieres on Netflix.
