Synopsis
Body Brokers (2021) is a crime thriller from director John Swab, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Utah is a street addict out of small-town Ohio when a recruiter named Wood offers him free rehab in Los Angeles.
The treatment is just a front. The real money runs on insurance claims — the more addicts a clinic cycles through, the bigger the payout for the people trading in them. Wood (Frank Grillo) walks Utah into the racket, hands him off to treatment mogul Vin (Michael Kenneth Williams), and the former patient turns into a recruiter pulling in kids who are exactly where he used to be. The story takes aim at a real American scam, the for-profit corner of opioid rehab where a saved life ranks below the bottom line. It's blunt, free of easy lectures, and Grillo is a pleasure as the charming cynic at its center. Stream Body Brokers online on iFILM.
