Starring Rosamund Pike (Gone Girl) as Marla Grayson, the film depicts how far the money will make people go, pulling them away from human kindness and good. From the power-hungry CEO’s point of view, Grayson rips off the elderly by falsifying documents to become their court-appointed guardian. When she acquires a new ward, Grayson and her wife Fran (Eiza Gonzalez) siphon money from the senior citizens by placing them in a nursing home and collecting money from their assets. Things take a turn for the worse when she runs across Jennifer Peterson (Diane Weiss). What she thinks will be a “cherry” turns into a dangerous run-in with the Russian mafia. Also featuring Game of Thrones star Peter Dinklage, I Care a Lot is available on Netflix in certain territories.

Some, like this person, found one of the big plot twists to be “disappointing.”
I Care A Lot was disappointing, like the Russian mafia would be so careless and just give up. It would have been better if the lawyer got Marla declared as a ward of the state and played her at her own game

For this user, comparing Pike’s performance in Gone Girl and her new role was an interesting take. Though, she still thinks “rosamund is sexy that’s all that matters.”
the thing w the gone girl is nick is an actual cunt so it makes it so easy to hate him but in i care a lot the old people did nothing wrong but iโm still on marlaโs side cause sheโs sexy but i feel bad for the old people ??? whatever rosamund is sexy thatโs all that matters

The acting is clearly going over well with viewers. Between Pike and Chris Messina, fans are trying to decide who gave a better performance for their roles.
I wasnโt prepared for how silly I Care A Lot was going to be, but itโs a lot of fun. Rosamund Pike, as many have said, is on Gone Girl form with some killer line deliveries throughout. Chris Messina threatens to steal the whole thing, but itโs really good, Pike-centric fun. 8/10 pic.twitter.com/rEJALzgE0N
