Exactly! IRL, Marla and her "friend" would have had a bullet in their heads.

True. I thought it was laughable the Russian mafia couldn’t kill her and her gf. This movie was trash.

Although kudos to raising the awareness since this type of scam is apparently a thing. I thought this cant be real. But it seems it is.
But as for the Russian gangsters... +1
How does the Russian Mob fail 2 hits in the same night? Absolutely mind blowing. Especially when they killed the doctor no problem.
Why does the movie act like we are supposed to root for Marla? I was rooting for the mob the whole time.
How does a court appointed guardian take on the Russian Mob no problem basically by herself? She was like Ethan Hunt for the last 30 minutes of the movie.
It would of been a lot better if Dinklage just lied about their partnership and just killed after Marla released his mom.
How can’t three Russian Mob members successfully get someone out of a retirement home because of one security guard?
The ending was nice to see Marla die, but I saw the ending coming a mile away. I said at the beginning, I guarantee some random disgruntled person just shoots her.
It would of been a lot better if Dinklage just lied about their partnership and just killed after Marla released his mom.
I was hoping for that, too.
It would have been better if there was some kind of catch, as opposed to the success and prosperity she achieved as a result.

The ending is weak, reminds me of The Lovely Bones.
There are literally millions of laws, but none of them made to prevent Marla's crimes?
Lighten up, Francis.
shareWell it was meant to be a dark comedy. So some of that stuff is meant to be ridiculous. But its still suspenseful and eye opening.
shareI agree. I found it incredibly stupid. Also notice these gangsters barely physically maimed them? As if it was written by a woman for women. Many women have this vanity about their looks, the main protagonist needs to be impeccably dressed and never maimed. They have to live and die beautiful.
Also, she's portrayed through a romantic lens, as if her loving another evil woman, exempts her from all her evil malice. And she uses her sex against a poor man fighting for his elderly mother. As if her sex gives her a pass from any morality whatsoever, and to hurt the man by destroying his mother, just because he is a man. Even when she dies. She wins. Not only did the man's mother die in that facility, but he will also likely go to prison for killing her. And you can imagine there are many elderlies hauled off imprisoned and robbed, more so with this new company of hers and the russian gangster.
PS. Besides her love is portrayed more like lust than a pure love between 2 people. The Russian was equally bad but was portrayed with having the ability to truly love someone outside of his sexual needs.
What a horrible film. I hated it. There was a time when films portrayed heroes, good people, antiheroes, or even protagonists who were grey/murky like Michael Corleone. Now, all these woke films have evil malicious women as the main protagonists, as if being evil and malicious was a virtue. And it scares me that people will think that women are as evil as these woke cult want you to believe. Evil has now become their virtue.
"it scares me that people will think that women are as evil as these woke cult want you to believe"
Who wants you to believe that women as a sex are evil or anything like the two female criminals in this movie? When you see Lex Luthor do you think someone is trying to portray him as the common man?
It’s a movie. Do you really think James Bond would have survived through any of his films? Why take it so seriously?
sharethe issue is the mix of genres, if it started as an action flick then the audience might buy her sudden James Bond moves, but it was a realistic drama about a financial con artist, not an action hero
shareHow dare they! This movie was supposed to be one genre! The very NERVE of these screenwriters!
shareoh you didn't get the point anyone else would get, ordinary people don't spontaneously turn into action heroes without special powers or training, the genres are pretty much contradictory, one is real the other fantastical
shareYes. At first I thought this movie is a semi-realistic dramatic take of a serious issue. As in, say, Never Rarely Sometimes Always. I didn't realise it was a action thriller dark comedy until the taxi driver met with over-the-top mob boss. I was like, oh, is this supposed to be a serious movie?
But once I get comfortable with the actual tone of the movie, I switch my brain off and just enjoy the ride.
I think they set up the tone wrong at first. And looks like it threw many people off. That's also what I don't really like about Parasite. Changing genre mid movie is not my favorite thing ever. Feels like being betrayed.
