Review 4K Movie

A unique “roasting” of corporate bosses and their female employees, presented as a thriller with dark humor and plot twists that defy convention.

The Razzie-nominated screenwriters Damien Shannon and Mark Swift have really messed things up. The film may seem terrible, thrown together on the fly, with disjointed parts and characters that are crazy and underdeveloped. Yes, that’s all true. Sometimes you get tired of the jumble of scenes and unexpected role reversals. But the script has something “alive” at its core, and you get the joy of realizing that this is exactly how it is. When you’ve had your fill of moralizing films about the corporate world and even comedies about boss-subordinate relationships no longer relieve your stress, come watch this psychological horror.

Sam Raimi, a specialist in superheroes and villains, as well as “B-movie” horror, was the one who made this mess. Some may be dissatisfied with the direction because the film turned out to be “trashy”—neither quite a comedy, nor a melodrama, nor a thriller, nor a horror film. With such potential and an idea like this, they could have made a timeless hit. Such are the times, such are the films! The world is in crisis! People are fighting for their places in corporations!

Excellent casting. Rachel McAdams is stunningly good and expressive in her role. Her character is contradictory. She is portrayed as a victim of a corporate system built on networking and the appropriation of subordinates’ ideas. She’s not without her quirks, but she doesn’t particularly stand out among her colleagues. On the other hand, we see how the character develops, how her ego inflates. In her inner world, she feels underappreciated, deserving of much more, and she fiercely wants to control everyone and be the boss and the decision-maker.

Dylan O’Brien plays a boss who is off-putting from the very first scenes. To make us despise him, we’re told he’s a “nepo baby,” and he spouts “MeToo”-style lines like “what are you willing to do for the job, baby,” etc. He’s a cynic, a selfish jerk, and, in general, a despicable character. You can tell a lot about a person by their friends, and Xavier Samuel’s character is just that—a total scumbag. But wait a bit, and “Rachel” will teach him a lesson.

The film is built on the clash between the characters of Dylan and Rachel. Some scenes hint that there is a sensual aspect to the relationship between these two—otherwise, why strip Dylan down, dress up Rachel, and all these physical embraces? The relationship between the characters is conflict-ridden, and the pair ended up together by force, but the physical attraction remains. Neither of them wants to be in the “submissive” position. Both show a tendency to derive pleasure from domination, so the energetic exchange of power to relieve tension happens in a very peculiar way. They’re sick of each other!

That’s the kind of stuff they do! Just kidding. Watch it and see for yourself.

There comes a moment in the film when our sympathies toward the characters shift. Rachel, who is too “masculine,” self-absorbed, and sarcastic, starts to get on our nerves. Meanwhile, Dylan’s character wins our sympathy for his openness. Gradually, Dylan’s character sheds his egocentrism, tries his hand at “real” survival work and foraging for food, and is ready for partnership. He sincerely admits he might not make it on the hunt and needs support, and is grateful for the survival skills he learned from Rachel. It’s sweet.

The first part of the film focuses on survival on a wild beach in the middle of the ocean. The second half of the film is a tough battle over power and control of the situation and resources. To be honest, I found the second, darkly comedic part more interesting to watch. It was entertaining to observe how the characters manipulate each other. Should they trust or verify? There’s a lot to think about in the context of “weak” leadership and an “unscrupulous” partnership.

The film is entertaining and funny, but there were some things I didn’t like about it. The moral and ethical aspects aren’t quite right. The characters are a bit flat. I emotionally disconnected from the characters because they didn’t seem like real people to me, but rather like characters.

A couple of times, I wished that what was happening on screen was just someone’s delusional dream caused by poisoning from a hallucinogenic plant.

I expected the characters to explore the dynamics of human relationships and reveal the essence of the drama that needed to be examined, but I got nothing.
