The latest clip paints a clearer picture of Drake’s rise and fall and how Evans’ Pete Brenner fits into her story. Pain Hustlers is setting up a tragic finale for everyone engaged in the conspiracy, which is understandable given the film’s theme. It doesn’t, however, reduce the appeal of watching its excellent cast in it.
The film features Emily Blunt and Chris Evans in a darkly humorous look at the financial and moral perks and drawbacks of working in the painkilling industry. Pain Hustlers is set in the unstable setting of a pharmaceutical corporation on the verge of bankruptcy in Florida.
When the corporation hires Liza Drake, their fortunes take an unexpected turn. Liza’s life has been difficult since she previously lived in her sister’s garage with her mother & her daughter Phoebe.
However, her situation worsens when she gets booted from the garage and loses her position as a stripper. Liza gets out to Pete Brenner (Evans), a pharmaceutical sales agent she met at the club, in her hour of need. Pete throws her a rope by offering her a position at his failing firm, Zanna Pharmaceuticals.
Liza soon rises through the business ranks and begins hiring her personnel. Still, as she and Pete gather more money, the FBI begins to investigate — and Liza herself begins to doubt whether she is morally correct.
Pain Hustlers is based on the true story of the pharmaceutical corporation Insys. Hence, some major storyline aspects are previously known.
However, it is still being determined if Netflix will stick strictly to its original content or make creative adjustments to its storyline to create a more dramatized representation of the story.
