Pain Hustlers (2023)
8/10
Pretty entertaining
26 December 2023
After losing her job, a woman who's struggling to raise her daughter takes a job out of desperation. She begins work at a failing pharmaceutical startup, but what she doesn't anticipate is the dangerous racketeering scheme she's suddenly entered.

Before watching this movie, I saw that it's getting so many bad reviews and ratings and after watching it, I really don't understand why. The film was so entertaining all throughout. The story was actually very interesting. Yes, there are so many stories about the rise and fall of a company however thisone, for some reason, stands out for me. The director, David Yates, decides to portray his story from the side of his protagonist who could also be seen as the antagonist. So definitely its very subjective. Yet, it serves its purpose in the whole sequence of the film.

Emily Blunt's performance was outstanding to me. She's able to lead this movie with her character that seems to be multidimensional. Chris Evans is very good at portraying this vulgar annoying character. Its nice seeing him play a character thats completely different from Captain America's character. Overall, solid performances from all the cast.

Score:7.5/10.
