The face of big pharma just got a lot better looking. With audiences hooked on the rush of recent films and TV series following big pharma and America’s opioid crisis, Pain Hustlers is the latest attempt at exposing the greed and cynical practices of the industry.

The story is loosely based on the real life pharma scandal involving the rise and fall ofInsys Therapeutics. Director David Yates, known for his work on the Harry Potter franchise, is at the helm of this dramatized account following a struggling single mom who finds a solution to her cash problems by pushing prescriptions.

The film stars Emily Blunt and Chris Evans as attractive pharma reps and features cuts to documentary-style interviews with the characters as a key storytelling technique. Despite its predictable plotline, Blunt’s performance as Liza Drake is impressive enough to get you to buy into this drama.

You can catch the film onNetflix.
