Painkiller

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.

This is a miserable dumbfest of a movie. A guy who holds the doctors responsible for his daughter ODing on whatever drug they are talking about here. Something more potent than fentanyl is what I got. And Yes, Fentanyl being used by addicts is horrible but so was this movie!!!

So dude goes around shooting CEO's and Doctors and talking about the crisis he holds a radio show to talk about. For about 90 minutes.

And the funny part is all the victims are addicts themselves and have whores for wives or girlfriends.

Just boring. 3/10.

Going into the movie expecting something serious is not going to be your best bet. The story is good, but I'd recommend watching it with some buddies you can laugh at it with.

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.

It's a good story, that needs to be told, and for a B film, it was told well. Sure it's predictable, but the opioid and vigilante genres haven't been crossed that much, so it was a good watch. The decent pacing and 85 min runtime made it flow nicely, even if you knew what was coming up. The cinematography and shots were great, as was the score, but the performances for the most part were lackluster, but I feel it was from director Mark Savage failing to direct his cast properly.
