CriticsCritics: 47
AudienceAudience: 6.7

A working-class man discovers that his wealthy family has excluded him from a vast inheritance. Determined to reclaim what he believes is his, he sets a dangerous plan in motion while navigating family tensions, romantic complications, and the risk of being exposed.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like dark comedies about morally dubious schemes, but Not for you if you want big thrills, consistently sharp humor, or deeply developed supporting characters; fans of A Simple Favor may be interested.
