Liza Drake (Emily Blunt) is a blue-collar single mom who has just lost her job and is at the end of her rope. A chance meeting with pharmaceutical sales rep Pete Brenner (Chris Evans) puts her on an upwards trajectory economically but dubious path ethically as she becomes entangled in a dangerous racketeering scheme. Dealing with her increasingly unhinged boss (Andy Garcia), the worsening medical condition of her daughter (Chloe Coleman), and a growing awareness of the devastation the company is causing forces Liza to examine her choices. Pain Hustlers is a sharp and revealing look at what some people do out of desperation and others do out of greed. The film is directed by BAFTA award winner David Yates, produced by Lawrence Grey, and also starring Catherine O'Hara, Jay Duplass and Brian d’Arcy James.

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. 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.
