Lifestyles of the poor and infamous. Charlize Theron's performance may be showy, in a reverse sort of way, but the overall film is uneven in its story and questionable in its appeal. It's hard to get into a tale about a thoroughly unsympathetic character, even if her failings are arguably not all her fault. Sympathy is a key element, even for a villain; especially so if the villain is also, in a sense, the film's protagonist.
