Emily Blunt, Chris Evans, and Jay Duplass star in the upcoming crime drama on Netflix.
Set to come out on Netflix on October 27, Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts director David Yates’ newest project, Pain Hustlers, is the most recent drama about grifters, scams, and overall schemes to hit our screens. But, in a landscape marked by fictional and documentary shows and movies like The Dropout, Inventing Anna, and The Tinder Swindler, Pain Hustlers deals with a topic that hits home for many Americans: the opioid epidemic that has been sweeping the country for the past three decades.
Liza Drake, at least as far as we know, is not a real person. Or maybe we should say that the Liza Drake played by Emily Blunt in Pain Hustlers is not based on anyone specific.
Before financial ruin, however, the people working for Insys were able to make a lot of money. Some of the company’s personnel had salaries that went up to six figures. This was achieved, of course, by making patients dependent on their one and only drug. Once hooked, those that had been prescribed Subsys would go back to their doctors asking for more prescriptions.
When Insys Therapeutics joined the market for opioids in 2012, medical opinion surrounding opium-based medicines was already shifting, signaling an end to the reign of morphine and its sisters that began in the 1990s. But that didn’t mean there wasn’t still plenty of room for getting people hooked on medically prescribed drugs, especially those that, for one reason or another, were dealing with insurmountable amounts of pain.
