Pain Hustlers stars Emily Blunt, Andy Garcia, Catherine O’Hara, Jay Duplass, Brian d’Arcy James, and Chloe Coleman.

The movie is directed by David Yates (Harry Potter and the Fantastic Beasts trilogy), and the screenplay was written by Wells Tower, who based it on the 2022 book of the same name by Evan Hughes.

As Netflix explains the Pain Hustlers plot:

Liza Drake (Blunt) is a blue-collar single mom who has just lost her job and is at the end of her rope.

A chance meeting with pharmaceutical sales rep Pete Brenner (Evans) puts her on an upwards trajectory economically but dubious path ethically as she becomes entangled in a dangerous racketeering scheme 

Pain Hustlers is now streaming on Netflix.

It will be interesting to see, when the next Netflix streaming rankings come out next Tuesday, if the crime drama is still on top.
