It's too long to really go into. Why don't you re-rent it or stream it on netflix? But I will say that I'm not sure I understand why it ended like it did. Some people think Lucy got what she deserved, but I'm not sure why they feel that way. What Ben did was alot worse than hers and she never would be in that situation, if not for him. And the mother/m-n-law. She had to know, yet she didn't do anything to help Lucy. And the neighbors. They would be the key for Lucy, yet apparently were paid off to lie for Ben. That sux. Oh well, guess Det. Waylon was right when he called Ben a 'lucky bastard'.

What Ben did was a lot worse but she put herself in the situation. She didn't have to marry a man she didn't love because of his money and more importantly when she found out she should have turned him in, however because she was greedy and wanted to keep his money she decided to do the stupid thing and cover his tracks, he never asked her, she did it all on her own because of greed. This is why people feel she got what she deserved.

Did Ben get what he deserved, in the strictest sense no, but in a way he was cured and no longer a danger, he was mentally ill and somehow Lucy was the cause of his desire to kill, I am not saying this makes it right or even her fault, but she was on some level the reason he was killing. Lucy was a bad person. Ben was a good person who committed murders that were indirectly inspired by Lucy.

None of you addressed the question, so I hope i can clear at least part of it up for you.
The ending was very confusing. She was pissed at him and wanted to torture him to death, then flips to loving him again for his money. Makes me wonder about a lot of things, as it is very obscure. If she had an agenda she wouldn't threaten him. They are both well suited?
Anyway, the crux of it is she took the fall for a pay off for doing a prison term.
The thing that stood out for me was that as soon as she was out of the picture, as in nobody can date her (she is in prison) he stops killing. As soon as she gets out he will kill anything that reminds him of her. That is the comedy, they are so bad for each other they will both lose the money and their freedom

She loves his money AND him. At the end she relents as she's storming off back to her cell and comes back and asks him to come back to the prison the next day to see her, and they talk about her bird who has started speaking "hello" all the time.

The reason she changes her mind at the end and becomes "nice" to him is so that he will get frustrated AGAIN (unable to be with her, like before the lottery). Because he can't have her, she hopes he will go back to killing, as she remarked earlier on in that conversation. "They" would see that it was someone else perhaps, and she would get out.
