Bill Oberst Jr. stars in trailer for vigilante thriller Painkiller

April 9, 2021 by Amie Cranswick

Cinedigm has released a poster and trailer for director Mark Savage’s upcoming thriller Painkiller which stars Bill Oberst Jr. as a man who begins a vigilante campaign against the white collar criminals behind the opioid epidemic after he loses his daughter to a drug overdose; watch it here…

In PAINKILLER, Bill Johnson (Oberst Jr.) has suffered the kind of loss that no parent should ever have to; watching his daughter fall victim to the opioid epidemic, which too long went unnoticed. Conversely, Dr. Alan Rhodes (Pare), has been leading a lavish lifestyle, thanks to the profits he’s been making from his prescription business. Seeing that no one is being held accountable, Bill sets out on a campaign targeting those made rich by the suffering of so many. Teaming up with a rogue cop, they set out to dismantle this network of doctors and pharmaceutical executives that continue to devastate families across the country.

Painkiller is set for a digital and DVD release on May 4th.
