After having watched DopeSick (Michael Keaton) and Crime of the Century, this is weak drivel. These aforementioned series really got the message home and taught you about opoid addiction. Painkiller just rides the wave of morbid interest in this subject but is watered down, the narration does not enhance the story but kills any dramatic effect. Also it is late to the table. The characters are weak at best and the storyline and plot is now old. It also strikes me as almost a subdued copy of Dopesick.

How about a follow-up ... on Mundi Pharma and Knoa Pharmaceuticals? Purdue is spreading its evil worldwide.
