Rich Flu

Hope they didn't spend more than 100 dollars to make this movie because that's about what it looks like. The writing is laughably bad, the acting feels phoned in, and the pacing is a complete disaster. Nothing good to say about it-no redeeming qualities, no interesting ideas, just a frustrating waste of time.

It honestly feels like a 13-year-old scribbled down a half-baked script in an hour, and the next day, someone decided, "Yep, let's film this." The dialogue is cringeworthy, the plot makes no sense, and whatever message they were trying to deliver gets lost in the sheer absurdity of it all.

I want my time back. Avoid this movie at all costs.

The plot was interesting - but executed terribly.

The acting is pretty solid (apart from Lorraine Bracco who was truly horrible).

Cinematography and set are ok.

But, the problem is that it's simply not a good movie. It's boring, has uninteresting characters and a very awkward pacing.

I gave it a 4/10 even though maybe a lower rating would actually be more apt.

Laura Palmer (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) is a hard charging executive and battling a divorce. She goes to meet her rich boss in Alaska where he appoints her the head of a non-profit subdivision. First, the Pope dies. More of the world's uber-rich die. There is some sort of viral disease which is killing the richest of the rich. Laura is surprised when her boss revalues her shares to be worth $900 million as the rich try to destroy their net worth.

This is a dumb high concept premise. It makes no sense, but I do try to go along with it. They do need to make the movie logic make sense around this stupid premise. It wouldn't be that hard to suppress one's net worth. One could simply donate it to the government. That's why I didn't get not going into quarantine. I do get the need to go to her daughter. So I let that go. Once the neighbors come for her, she should leave by herself. How could she put her daughter in danger? That's not reasonable. For the sake of the movie, she should go on the road alone.

Obviously, this is meant to be the reverse of the normal situation. I'm willing to let a lot of this go, but only up to a point. I do like the adventure thrills and the complicated Laura Palmer. I just don't like the non-sense in response to the non-sense premise.

This movie is starting quiet slow with lots of annoying people, gets slightly intriguing in the middle part and suddenly fades out even slower into nothing.

Don't get me wrong, I see the efforts they've put into this and the movie features solid acting and good cinematography, but still, like others mentioned before: there is no likeable or even relatable character to find here. The plot is paper thin and doesn't do much. I guess in the end, this is more of a psychological behaviour study, that one has to sit through with a shake of the head the whole time. Narcissists do unrelatable things and that's about it. If that triggers you, stay well clear of this movie.

Ironically the movie starts with someone making a pitch for a movie script, which would have been much better, if executed right.

Don't waste your time and money, it's not worth it. In comparison to worse movies, I'd still give it a 4.5 to 5/10 for technical aspects and some good acting.

One of the most stupid movies I ever seen in my life, it's so disappointing that I even decided to write it here to protect people from watching it. The main hero is such a narcissistic and stupid b**** that all the movie you're getting angry fromall of her actions and stupidity, she knows she does harm to her family but pretends that she doesn't. The whole movie is so irrational and illogical that every second you ask yourself "can it be even worse?" and yu get it! Again and again! These teeth are another story........During the whole movie I didn't have any feelings or emotions about any of it's characters....... I just want my time back.
