In the gripping and darkly comedic film, "I Care a Lot," we encounter a cast of intriguing characters brought to life by the talented Rosamund Pike and Peter Dinklage. At the heart of the story is Marla Grayson, a shrewd and cunning court-appointed legal guardian, portrayed exceptionally by the brilliant Rosamund Pike.

Meanwhile, the enigmatic and ruthless criminal Roman Lunyov is expertly depicted by Peter Dinklage, whose performance adds a layer of unpredictability and danger to the already tense plot. Roman becomes intertwined in Marla's web of deceit when she selects her latest target, who, unbeknownst to her, harbors connections with the Russian mob.
