I Care a Lot 2021

While sporting some of the most unlikable characters in a feature for some time, I Care A Lot somehow manages to squeeze out a compelling narrative via the dynamic of it's "love-to-hate" protagonist and antagonist. Pike and Dinklage fit their exaggerated caricatures comfortabley, leading to some great independent scenes, as well as some delightfully pointed conflicts between the two.
If you can forgive some of the liberties it takes with the story, I Care A Lot is a enjoyable twist on the usual "Mob vs Questionable Lawyer" thriller we've seen spun numerous times before. Just be prepared to endure an infuriating introduction, and to not really have anyone to root for throughout the entire runtime. If you can deal with having no defined "hero", this is some really solid stuff.
