Spoiler alert.
Most of the people who reviewed this movie never sat through to the credits. Mainly cause it was a cringe-palooza with not so realistic settings. You'd think steven king would think of a character like marla who came off like a mix of the nurse from one flew over the cuckoo's nest and his own from misery. Honestly i thought i was watching a long episode of black mirror or the twilight zone. Main character was a power hungry, greedy, manipulative sociopath who just so happened to be gay.. anyways after clashing with a well connected ex mafioso and almost getting killed for acquiring his mother understate guardianship. This leads to a long trail of unfortunate events which ends up feeling like a mini gang war in the sense of cat and mouse. Using her wits and sheer will power and utter ruthlessness goes through unrealistic lengths to aquire a east pay off for her mistake. Not paying attention to her passed enemies like the apex she is made strikes a deal after putting the antagonist through a rough patch of his own and makes him compromise into partnering with her to increase her scam into a mega corp. Walks out of a tv interview for what can be considered a inside success story to how she built her empire ironically ends the interview with "im only getting started" dies from a bullet fired by the guy who spit on her from the beginning of the movie. Which brings me to a quote i posted for another film (the little things) which is "you play stupid games, you win stupid prizes". After a somewhat happy ending we get what we wanted which is this character getting whacked. Interesting story but super unrealistic. Which makes it a great "Movie" but more of a once and and ill never touch it again. 3 stars ⭐⭐⭐
