I get it, you lost someone to pills. These are the same pills that give people w debilitating pain, cancer and nerve issues somewhat of a normal life by not leaving them stuck to a bed unable to move. But the person you lost was special, way more special than the millions living a 24/7 unending nightmare. So you wanna take it out on everyone in any connected w these demon pills. Good for you. Sorry it didnt work out putting that in a movie. Just made it seem like a wimpy guy that has to hide his face and sneak up on unsuspecting people to exact his pettiness. Wouldve worked better if the movie was about the same guy becoming a counselor, helping people that cant get off opioids. But who am i, just a dude writing a small personal review about a movie that wasted my time.
Now I know why Doctors are so afraid to help their patients in pain (after a severe infection, car accident etc) It's sad and ridiculous. Pain during infections and accidents/trauma are a part of the human experience and inhabiting a body on earth. It's unavoidable.
The fact that everyone is looked at as a possible drug seeker and drs are being so harassed is just .. unbelievable.
There will always be addicts. The parents opening each episode, clearly state there child died an addict. Not one of them, took the medication once and died or suffered a side effect that debilitated them for the rest of their life. (Like having chronic seizures after or nerve damage that lead to them being paralyzed, etc. (Which actually are potential side effects of some of the drugs on the market)
They would've died from a different substance than oxycodone, if it hypothetically was never created.
Crack and temporary pain management, so people can continue going to work and continue to enjoy life, suffer less than they need to... are not the same thing. Not the same epidemic, trend.
The move was very informative. I wish it shared how we can get those people to stop harassing drs, and the public, and treating everyone like the bad kid that acts out in school. We should not all be punished and monitored continuously.

After having watched DopeSick (Michael Keaton) and Crime of the Century, this is weak drivel. These aforementioned series really got the message home and taught you about opoid addiction. Painkiller just rides the wave of morbid interest in this subject but is watered down, the narration does not enhance the story but kills any dramatic effect. Also it is late to the table. The characters are weak at best and the storyline and plot is now old. It also strikes me as almost a subdued copy of Dopesick.
How about a follow-up ... on Mundi Pharma and Knoa Pharmaceuticals? Purdue is spreading its evil worldwide.

You take something that is very real, and then you walk around Tampa during off the off season; looking for people bored and nothing to do. You offer them a hundred bucks and a bottle of pills for their "acting performance." That's how this movie is best summed up.
You'd think someone losing someone would make someone quite hurt. I know, I'm an orphan having watched both parents died. I get more emotionally invested in old commercials than the people playing their parts. Everyone "acting" in this piece is clearly on some downers. Guess the directors didn't specify they'd have to wait and only do their hard earned reward after their scenes were wrapped. Everyone of the "actors" are glassy eyed and almost ready to fall asleep mid sentence.
It's very high and mighty because it does have the moral "high" ground. I was tricked when I bought this. The rating on here was higher then, and I didn't verify with reviews. Only put 5 on it; rather have used that for whatever they are taking.
I also love how specific they are about some things, then they go wildly vague. I'd love to know what this guy did to make his money. He wouldn't tell us, but he used the same two six shooters, and the same outfit to carry out his hits. I live for Hitman, so his sloppy way of taking people out blows my mind. Rolling thru neighborhoods and jet skiing thru lakes dressed like he got his idea from the Payday games. The dude who designed his wicked hard opiod for heart patience has a really sweet trailer. Makes me wonder if that was the directors house. It's legit the nicest looking place in the film. This includes the rich people. It's like a really classy place that Julian thought he was getting from Mr Lahey.
OK, so the dude goes to see the doctor that called into main characters podcast. The doctor knew his name, and yet, when the protagonist shows up in the doctor's office the next day, and he was clueless. I maybe high, but they are Major Tom, man.

What a horrible mess.
Based on Barry Meier's book Painkiller and Patrick Keefe's Empire of pain, this movie gets just about everything wrong. Addiction. Greed. The Sacklers. How they lit the fire of the epidemic.
Worse, they throw in new peripheral characters to move the story.
This movie misses the point on how the Sacklers operated.
Matthew Broderick is wasted. He played capo Richard Sackler as a fool. He could have easily played the real guy.
My daughter's a prosecutor. I'm an addictions medical professional. Netflix, you're a disgusting mess. Not any coincidence all your show runners and directors look so much alike, is it?
They don't show a single person shooting up. WTF is this, kindergarten?
So much filler added, so many facts removed. Netflix should be required to remake this accurately.
