      Emily Zemler Observer Painkiller is a highly entertaining, easy watch, which may seem odd to say about a show about how legal drug use has ruined thousands of lives. But if it raises awareness maybe it doesn’t matter how the story is told, as long as it continues to be told. Aug 10, 2023 Full Review Tracy Allen PopHorror.com It's more than a vigilante Death Wish wannabe film. It's an important story that needs to be told, and people need to listen. May 8, 2021 Full Review Michelle Kisner The Movie Sleuth Painkiller is a great throwback style revenge-thriller that tackles the pervasive and deadly prescription drug industry that has infected the most vulnerable among us. May 5, 2021 Full Review Daniel M. Kimmel North Shore Movies A down-and-dirty thriller... It doesn't pretend to be anything more and it gets the job done. Rated: 3/5 May 5, 2021 Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat Painkiller hammers its message home, which might frustrate some viewers. But, the direction is good, the action exciting, the story interesting, and the score is beyond stellar. Rated: 7.5/10 Apr 30, 2021 Full Review Prairie Miller WBAI Radio Not simply another vigilante revenge thriller, though that too. As combo podcaster prophet of doom and the masked medication avenger in question Bill Oberst navigates a real life tragedy - and that other pandemic of greedy drug corporations as well.

      HJ T Shameful distortion of facts. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/07/23 Full Review Ray G Absolutely great series I must see so real that it got me nauseous Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/21/23 Full Review Eric R Everyone, LISTEN-UP! Those people (mostly parents lost child) who ran to the Gov't screaming their kids died have a HUGE accountability dillema. They failed to teach their children in righteousness, the result is apparent. NOW, we (legit people in pain) are left to fend for ourselves / going to bad sources to obtain relief. Those people who haven't YET experienced constant PAIN, YOU better hope your health doesn't goto the you-know-what ! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/20/23 Full Review James A A very mind gripping movie that tells the story of addiction to prescriptive medicine. It combines fiction and reality in such a captivating way that you cannot leave your seat before the last episode. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Courtney S The only good things about this show were the real families featured at the beginning of every episode and the one line calling Rudy Giuliani out for being the slime he is. Otherwise it's a heavily scripted soap opera with a few big names. I'm still not sure why I finished it at all. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/17/23 Full Review William F Skip it. Over dramatic, editing is hard to watch, story is over dramatized and not serious enough for the subject it's covering. Any series that relies on conversations with dead people for important insights highlights the directors failure to tell the story. Dopesick was much better at presenting the story and the greed of the Sacklers. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/16/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
