Ruthless People

  • Log in or register to post comments

In a brilliant blend of comedy and crime, a fashion magnate, obsessed with wealth and greed, finds his life turned upside down when his wife is kidnapped by a group of desperate criminals. The plan seems simple: demand a ransom for the woman his husband despises, but what the kidnappers don't know is that the wife has her own approach that is quite... particular. Hoping to free herself, Lisa decides to play her own game and, instead of being a victim, she becomes the villain who outsmarts her captors.

Meanwhile, the husband, excited by the idea of finally getting rid of a burden he never wanted, begins to make plans to enjoy his fortune without the "family expenses." But what starts as a situation that might seem advantageous for both quickly turns into a wild game of cat and mouse, filled with misunderstandings and unexpected twists.

With witty dialogues and absurd moments, the film explores heaps of selfishness in a society obsessed with money and status. As the characters become ensnared in their own unchecked ambitions, the unexpected turns keep coming, resulting in hilarious chaos that tests both loyalty and cunning. Amidst deception, redemption, and, of course, a healthy dose of dark humor, the conclusion is not only surprising but also imparts lessons about love, greed, and what really matters in life.
