Review of I Care a Lot (2021) by Shat00N — 23 Feb 2021

I like Rosamund Pike since The World's End and I was really looking forward to this movie. Unfortunately it turned out rather uninteresting and predictable. And starting with the scene of "assault" at the elderly home it turned into some kind of fantastic comedy with giant plotholes. I started skipping portions after the interrogation scene.

As a Russian, it was also funny to see Russians portrayed as tracksuit-wearing blondes without a hint of Russian accent. Oleg from 2 Broke Girls would make a more believable Russian. Peter Dinklage is excellent, providing that his objective was to portray an incompetent moron, who constantly angrily bangs at various surfaces. I guess anyone can become a drug kingpin this days, even if you get outplayed at your game by some middle-level legal authority. Pike is good at portraying her character, but I've already seen that character in Gone Girl. Overall I don't know what the creators were going for and what's the message of this film. Also, JClay Davis didn't say SHIIIIIIEEEEET in this one. Music is good though.
