I have to say, there's not much room to the Right of me, and I watched this movie when it came out. It's brilliant. My whole, Trump-supporting family loved it.

You're joking, right? Even the core premise was ridiculous. There are two bottles from which the latina nurse gives the old man shots - one of which benefits him at a certain dose, and the other that will kill him at that same dose. The murder plot involves switching the contents of each bottle.

But the "innocence" of the nurse hangs on the fact that she was such a good nurse she knew instinctively which liquid was which by weight? How incredibly irresponsible and incompetent of a nurse do you have to be to administer these injections without looking at the freaking labels, just to be sure? Just one day when your magical immigrant powers are off and you give the set dose from the wrong bottle, and the old man is dead anyway. But we're supposed to think "Aw shuck, she's so good she didn't fall for the murderer's trick anyhow!" The incompetent bitch would have eventually killed him regardless.

The incompetent bitch would have eventually . . .

Dude! You're not getting the joke. It's a comedy--specifically a farce. The whole thing is absurd, and it's supposed to be.

Part of that is that he's making sport of the "perfect illegal alien" trope our culture is plagued with. Her naivete and incompetence that you cite blow up that idea as well. The whole thing is very cynical, black humor.
