Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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.

Did You Know?
| 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. See more » |
| Goofs | SPOILER: Tasers/stun guns do not work as they do in the film. A "dry stun" will cause pain, but the pain immediately ends when the taser is no longer pushed against the skin. A pronged hit will cause the taser to activate for 5 seconds and cause some immobility, but can be removed after that time. Marla would have been beaten by the two bodyguards at the end instead of being able to easily subdue them. See more » |

| Quotes |
[first lines]
Marla Grayson: [narrating] Look at you. Sitting there. You think you're good people. You're not good people. Trust me, there's no such think as good people. Marla Grayson: I used to be like you. Thinking that working hard and playing fair would lead to success, and happiness. It doesn't. Playing fair is a joke invented by rich people to keep the rest of us poor. And I've been poor. It doesn't agree with me. Cuz there's two types of people in the world: the people who take, and those gettin' took. Predators and prey. Lions and lambs. Marla Grayson: My name is Marla Grayson, and I'm not a lamb. I am a fucking lioness! See more » |
