Saw it last night. Entertaining Netflix Fare.
Damn her girlfriend, Francis was beautiful.
Started out strong but got a little hokey in the last 20 minutes.
She's drugged, pumped full alcohol, is driven into a lake, turns upside down in a sinking car but holds her breath for two minutes, fights off a seat belt, kicks out the real window and swims out? The single handily over powers a bodyguard and drugs / Kidnaps Tyrion? Can't the bad guys just shout the protagonist in the head and be done with it?
The ending was almost a reward because we hated her so much and were starting to believe she would get away with it.
7/10.

Watched last night and enjoyed it. For a while we thought they were suddenly trying to turn them into the protagonists - as if we were suddenly supposed to feel sorry for her and Francis. My wife and I keep repeating "I just want to see them physically tortured and begging for their lives to end quickly". DIdn't happen but the the final ending someone made up for it.
The first 30 minutes gave me anxiety - I was furious thinking of someone like that coming after my parents. I remember my dad saying they had a lot of trouble with hoaksters sending crap to my grandfather. Every few weeks you'd find some new piece of junk Veteran's "memorial" trinket that lord only knows how much he paid to receive under the guise of "charity".
Agree with this one. Thought it was decent up until the point where she became super human and started defeating the mobsters. Then when Tyrion was going to join her, I really couldn't find anyone in the story to root for.Southlake said:

A cynical part of me thought they were desperately trying to avoid the 'kill all your gays' trope throughout the movie, that because they were openly identified as lesbians, they were protected.Southlake said:
Yeah, it was like they started something they had no idea how to finish...
oh hey...my small business failed because a better run one came along....I now have moral license to commit elder abuse.Quote:
Marla Grayson and her vape pen are never far apart. According to Rosamund Pike, this reflects Grayson's roots in a vaping company, a part of her backstory that didn't make it into the film.
"The backstory of Marla is that she had a vape business until she was Walmart-ed out of business by a great big discount vape store opening across the street, which she was furious about," Pike told Collider. "I think that was her shot at the American dream played fair. She had a small-time business, she was a small-time business owner, she got screwed and then she thought, 'Right. Chips are down. I'm going all out. I'm gonna play the system like everybody else.' And I think every time she inhales, it's bringing that attitude to it. It's the attitude of having been screwed and now you're out to screw everybody."
Gotta be a screenwriter who came up with that bag of ****Diggity said:
i'm not sure if this was a "backstory" that Pike came up with, or it was relayed to her by the writer/director, but it's ****ing terrible and made me like the movie less.oh hey...my small business failed because a better run one came along....I now have moral license to commit elder abuse.Quote:

Just started this and I HATE rosamund pikes character. Hate her.
I literally LOLd at Dinklage hiding his face from the bank camera. Yeah, THAT is gonna be how they would spot you.Proposition Joe said:
Peaked at the in-office lawyer convo and went downhill from there.
And former mob boss that disguised his death in a fire and lives life mostly out of the view of the public eye... ok.
But a 4'4 russian? Not sure I can suspend my disbelief that he wouldn't be kinda easy to spot within a handful of years.
Fun premise, but dropped the ball after the first 45 min.
And how does Chris Messina not get more movie work?
