This is a film that has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, a film gets one shot only. As it is, too many will not see this potential, and consequently hate it. And I do understand why you may feel frustrated after watching "I care a Lot". You are NOT supposed to enjoy the ride, to root for anybody or to feel satisfied at the end. No. The intent of this story is to upset you, pull the rug from under your feet, and hopefully leave you with a nagging feeling that things are terribly wrong. One of the main problems, reasons why it fails for so many, is that the characters of Pike and González are painted with too much cool, sassy and hot, so that at some point you may feel like you are supposed to see them as the antiheroes or the Bonnie & Clyde of this story. No. You are supposed to remember what it is that they do. There is NOTHING cool about how they make their living. They are psycopaths targetting the weakest and most vulnerable, they are the most despicable beings on earth, and they actually don't deserve to die by the hands of the people they wronged. They deserve to become the prey of someone like themselves. Incapacitated wards, drugged into oblivion. But then again I feel like I have seen "that" film before, and the ending of "I care a Lot" really doesn't matter - what matters is that you should feel sick to the bone and angry about what happens in this film. Unfortunately too many are left feeling confused and angry about the film itself, the execution of it. I first gave it a 7 for being a really, really good effort to but the many, many disappointed reviews need balancing.
