Pain Hustlers is not a bad film. It boasts a well known cast and sheds light on a very interesting and somewhat controversial industry. Not too surprised to see such hustling happening in big pharma. However it follows the same sort of Greek tragedy like many big successful films before it. Some recent films it has striking similarities to are 'The Wolf of Wall Street' or 'Wardogs'. But there are a few others. The mold and set up was also captured well in the iconic Goodfellas in 1990 and many films have followed a similar style. You have a great rise, a great fall and then the FBI circling in.
I feel a better soundtrack, further editing and more flair could have lifted this film as well. Overall a passable film.
