    Loved It!!

    Business Ethics is a smart, stylish dark comedy with a Faustian warning about the price of success. I'd heard from reviewers that it was boring, and I beg to differ; this is a very character-driven yet aesthetically enticing story reminiscent of the Enron scandal, bringing a lot of great talent to the table. It was nice to see a black actor in a leading role, and Larenz Tate gives it his all as the well-meaning but gradually more ruthless and callous Zachery. In pursuit of orchestrating the perfect Ponzi scheme, this character calls forth a ragtag team of deeply flawed, memorable side characters. Sarah Carter as the seemingly ditzy secretary who may be more clever than she lets on, Julian Richings as the kind-hearted but self-destructive drunk accountant, Lance Reddick as the near-omniscient voice of reason and truth... all in all, a stellar, wonderfully talented cast paired with a witty, powerful script makeS Business Ethics a strong and unforgettable story. As a student with a commerce background, I'd recommend this as a showing in any business or commercial law class.

    Really funny old school dark comedy

    I saw this film at the Newark Film fest in 2019 and thought it was great. A really funny 90s style dark comedy that you don't see very much these days. Kind of similar to Zucker bros style comedy, but a lot darker. Def recommend checking it out if you can find it.

    Flat and Boring

    Nothing new, clever or interesting to watch, Starts well and then stays flat to the end.

    Another financial guy story

    Compare to wolf of Wall Street and other similar theme, this movie just show how another financial man makes money without ethics. The movie is so boring and no peak basically.

    Clever, charming and comical! Awesome Film to Netflix & Chill

    Clever, charming and comical with a hint of dark comedy. The acting was superb. The storyline was excellent. There was a disconnect or not enough dialogue between the mother & main character. A few scenes seem to move forward without enough information. However, Larenz Tate delivers multifaceted performance and love the quality of the cinematography. Keep up the great work Tate Brothers! :)
