Storyline

Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson 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, use with brutal efficiency on their latest "cherry," Jennifer Peterson - 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, Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play - one that's neither fair, nor square.

Trivia

When 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.

Goofs

When the girls follow the driver it is pitch dark; when they arrive at the office it is mid-morning at the earliest. Unless they were driving for some hours this is unrealistic.

Quotes

Marla Grayson: You may be a man, but if you ever threaten, touch, or spit on me again, I will grab your dick and balls, and I will rip them clean off.

User Reviews

This sucked

I love a good thriller, dark comedy, blah blah blah. But THIS was trash! There is no way in Hell this woman, going up against the Russian mafia, would be alive. Corny...just corny.
