POSITIVES…
Fascinating premise. The fact that the scam presented in this film is actually something that happens in the real world is a horrible thing. Horrible thing.
The narrative purposefully makes you feel conflicted with how you want the movie to conclude, but it was definitely compelling and engaging.
Rosamund Pike is phenomenal as Marla Grayson. She really brings her despicably capable strong-willed character to life. She is the reason to see this movie.
Dianne Wiest is spectacular as Jennifer Peterson, and her scenes with Rosamund Pike are great.
Peter Dinklage. Excellent actor. What’s not to like about him?
Eiza González is excellent in this as Fran, and brings a good balance to Pike’s character.
The scene where Dean Ericson, played fantastically by Chris Messina, has a talk with Marla Grayson is just perfect.
“Let’s just say you’ll not be comfortable, or uncomfortable ever again.”
There aren't a lot of action sequences in this movie, but the one they did have was pretty exciting.
More scenes with Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage please.
NEGATIVES…
It’s a movie that’s mostly filled with detestable individuals. I mean, who do you root for?
Some conveniences and liberties taken that cheapens the story a bit.
A couple of plot details that kinda just didn’t make sense to me at all.
I get a hint of some war of the sexes theme here within the story, that I didn’t particularly think was necessary.
There are people who will take away the wrong message from this film.
Wasn’t completely satisfied with the conclusion.
