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.

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.

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.

A down-and-dirty thriller... It doesn't pretend to be anything more and it gets the job done.
