Got news for everyone, this is exactly what happens. Big Pharma buys studies via funding universities and the members in the FDA and CDC move from executive positions in Big Pharma, Ag companies in and out of the FDA and the FDA approves things based on money for Big Pharma, Ag. They lay it out in a movie and people defend them saying don't attack Big Pharma. These are corrupt companies that laughed about the people dying of opioids and all the other toxic crap they make. Good story. I enjoyed it.

Medicine ... innovations in that field that are needed for the survival of humanity. That being said, Medicine or all of the health business has become a big business ... so big that certain things should not be discussed - because certain people know they'd lose a lot of money because of it.

Pills have become quite the lucrative business ... everyone has heard of Oxy and other "legal" drugs that everyone can easily get addicted to. And if doctors just prescribe them and not enough tests have been made by the FDA ... but that is just one part of the story that seems to connect many dots ... even if not all connect or cross paths! A very interesting and sometimes harrowing and sad story ... but enough action and a lot of really good actors involved in it to make it more than interesting to say the least!

This is a story about the opioid drug crisis told in three subplots of which only two come together. The DEA is working with Armenians to transfer opioids into the United States from Canada. They are also paying people to buy them from doctors prescribing them as a sting operation that failed to connect to the main plot. Neither one makes sense, but it is what our government does. The DEA agent has an addicted sister. A boy named Dave dies and his mother wants answers. These stories will connect. The unconnected story is Gary Oldman playing a good guy. He is a professor that tests opioids before they go to market. When all of his lab mice turn up dead, he creates issues.

This might have been better as two films. It was a decent crime drama with some action.
