Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Marla Grayson is on the phone with Sam Rice, he asks her if she has heard of the Milgram experiment, which references a series of social psychology experiments conducted by Stanley Milgram where subjects obeyed authority figures (i.e. giving electric shocks to people) regardless of possible consequences.
- GoofsMarla is drugged and filled up with alcohol before being put into a staged car accident. Despite being made unconscious by the alcohol a few minutes earlier, she succeeds in escaping a sunken car, and then swimming out and walking to a shop where she only gives an indication of being cold.
- Quotes
Marla Grayson: Every fortune ever accumulated started with a leap of faith. But before you take that leap, first take a long, hard look at yourself. Know who you are. Ask yourself: am I an insider? Or am I an outsider? Am I a lamb? or am I a lion? Am I a predator or am I a prey? Am I good at money? or Am I good at people? What am I willing to sacrifice to achieve my dreams? What lines will I not cross? Don't try to be anyone else. Just know who you are and use that to your advantage.

The bad: soon into the story, several plot turns were not very credible. And more and more plot turns afterwards became increasingly NOT CREDIBLE AT ALL, to the point that I just couldnt take it seriously any more.
This movie is not meant to be a full on comedy, perhaps it was meant to be a dark kind of humor, but even then there still needs to be some sort of a credibility to the story. Unfortunately there was NONE.
Not any good? The start is good. The acting by Dianne Wiest is excellent. Rosamund Pike however fails at portraying a believable character, because the plot and dialogue are simply completely SILLY and UNBELIEVABLE.
