I Care a Lot HD1080p 50MB
Darkly comedic thriller about a crooked legal guardian (Rosamund Pike) who drains the savings of her elderly wards. Having made a mint selling off the assets of the dozens of retirees trapped in her permanent care, she and her partner (Eiza González) stumble upon a veritable golden goose in the form of Jennifer Peterson (Dianne Wiest), a mark with no apparent family or debt, only a tidy fortune to be mined. But, while applying their scam, the two soon discover that Ms. Peterson is not who they thought she was, and that their actions have disturbed the designs of a crime lord (Peter Dinklage). Written and directed by J Blakeson (The Disappearance of Alice Creed, The 5th Wave).
Pike in top form. I can't wait to see this. Will start streaming on Netflix February 19th. Trailer without German subs.
