"I care a lot" 2020
In the first few minutes you start to hate Marla Grayson, played by Rosamund Pike. She is a fascist who genocides the vulnerable part of society - the elderly and the sick. She steals from the elderly, humiliates and abuses them, restricts them in all their basic rights, while cleverly backing up her actions with the approval of state and social institutions.
For some reason, the screenwriter and director thought that she is a hero and the viewer should empathize with her and admire how she cleverly with a smarmy partner protect their business - stealing the elderly, and defeats the men and the Russian mafia. In the confrontation between the crook and the bandits, she wins victory after victory, not yielding to them in nastiness. Such a superwoman Marla, which and in the fire does not burn, and in the water does not sink.
And if the actions of the Russian mafia leader can be explained (by affection for his mother and the desire to save his purse, which is the mother), then to explain the fascist cruelty to the old people of Marla's character by her self-interest alone is not enough.
In spite of the screenwriter's and director's idea, as a viewer you empathize with the prosaic anti-heroes in the form of Russian bandits, deliberately caricatured and helpless. And all because their hunt is aimed at a heroine even more disgusting than they are.
In general, during 95% of the movie's timing, the viewer is shown the adventures of the abomination. And during all this time you are waiting for retribution for this Nazi, though from the bad Russian guys and the hero Peter Dinklage. But no, the screenwriters go on and on, continuing the march of the invincible Marla ...
It seems that the denouement should have put everything in its place. But still, questions remain. And the main one: why do we need this Marla Grayson as a hero and not as an anti-hero, if there is no condemning her existence message from the creators, and not just a cartoon thriller of one evil fighting another evil?
