There’s an urgency here in his telling of the origin of the opioid crisis in this country that’s admirable given the damage still being caused by Purdue Pharma, but ultimately shallow.

   Is 'Painkiller' a good movie?

   • It’s an effective reminder of the truth at the core of what “Painkiller” seeks to unpack—how greed destroyed lives—but the thin characters, aggressive filmmaking choices, and complete lack of subtlety mean that every episode fails to find the right tone for its heartbreaking overtures.

   Will there be a 'painkiller' movie on Netflix?

   • A battle of wills between Edie and the Sacklers might have been enough for a feature film version of “Painkiller,” but this is a Netflix mini-series—so we need two more. The better of the pair is the “case study” arc of Glen Kryger ( Taylor Kitsch ), a mechanic who suffers a brutal accident in the premiere that leads to his addiction to OxyContin.

   How many people die from opioids a week?

   • A recent report states that more than 1,500 people a week die in the United States from taking some form of opioid. Though OxyContin it is far from the only opioid on the market, it has become – perhaps thanks to the family’s prominence – the lightning rod of the epidemic, which has cost approximately half a million lives in the States alone.
