Rosamund Pike proved she can do icily scheming in Gone Girl and I Care A Lot builds on that idea, turning her into a razor sharp businesswoman who will stop at nothing to make a buck. See the trailer...
Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson (Pike) is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It’s a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran (Eiza González) use with brutal efficiency on their latest “cherry,” Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest) — a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family.
But when their mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster (Peter Dinklage), Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play — one that’s neither fair, nor square...
Chris Messina, Macon Blair and Alicia Witt are among the cast, and the film, written and directed by J. Blakeson, will hit Netflix in the US on 19 February, and Amazon Prime Video the same day in the UK – find the British trailer below.
