This year, Netflix has hopeful contenders like “Maestro,” “Rustin,” and “Pain Hustlers.” “Pain Hustlers” is a star-studded, politically charged film that could make a big impact. If you’re wondering how to watch it, stay tuned.
Pain Hustlers: Release Date
On October 27, Pain Hustlers will be available on Netflix in the US. On September 11, 2023, the movie

movie a C- and said the following in his review:
We’ve had plenty of films that have stated that greed, for lack of a better word, is good, and Pain Hustlers—with its sights set on the pharmaceutical companies behind the opioid crisis—doesn’t add anything new to that conversation. Yates makes Pain Hustlers part-rowdy dramedy, part-half-assed takedown, and entirely an underwhelming film that attempts to make apparent and bland points.
