L'Employeur

Well that was boring, halfway through I began fast forwarding through the rest.

The premise of people trapped in a room, is old. People trapped in a room for a job, has already been done too (can't remember the name of the movie though).

The production value is inexistent. My HDCam makes better pictures than what I've seen here. Acting is bad, lighting is awful, score is generic, nothing in this movie is new.

McDowell played 6 minutes in this movie, he probably just needed a morning to get the filming done. Well, lately he showed up in Z-Grade movies anyway. Seeing him casted is a strong indicator for a poor movie.

Please excuse my low quality review, but I just did it to balance the 10/10 fake reviews written by the PR guys.

Very twisted neat little spin on things.

Wife & I enjoyed this, start to finish had us wondering.

I will not spoil it, yes there are better movies but many many worse, worth a watch in our opinion.

A few similar movies with same / similar storyline but this is still interesting, yep do not want to spoil it.

This is the kind of movie I usually do not like. All the action in a closed frame, only dialogue, right, there are also four crimes, boring. But, the quality of the actors' play, I mean the five job candidates, all very natural, they pick up the film. Plus, Malcolm McDowell, "deadly serious" and very special talented. It is a little slow and predictable, even hard to believe that Keith Caverns (Michael DeLorenzo) can strangle with a tie the giant Mike Drake (Matthew Willig) or that Billie Lewis then kills Keith Caverns with her shoe heel. Except that, everything is like in life, I have seen with my own eyes such characters, in real life, in different working places, capable of anything for a job.

If you want to listen to some interesting interview questions probably discarded by Google and Amazon HR professionals, then Malcolm McDowell is your man. He is always entertaining, but the writing here is a bit uneven, so he repeats himself a lot in this film.

This a very rare miss by David Dastmalchian, who is the best actor of his generation. But he can only play the cards he is dealt with; and those cards in this script are limited.

This scenario has already been done with Cube, and vaguely similar to Saw, but without the newness of the situation in Cube. I like Zane's performance as well, but it was cut short (no pun intended). The film is actually fairly predictable, and for that reason, I had to give it a 5.

Why does Malcolm McDowell keep doing these bad movies playing a cheesy cliché villain? He has acting chops and could do so much better. Most of the other actors are mediocre at best.

This movie is like a bad play with five actors stuck in one scene. This has been done so many times before and it has been proved to require outstanding talent to pull it off. The premise of this movie is just ridiculous. Even the special gore effects look really fake like a joke horror film. All I enjoyed in this movie was the good looks and body of Katerina Mikailenko.

This movie is the epitome of the idiotic Republican thinking (ruthless amoral selfish philosophy, and corporate scamming masquerading as "Capitalism") which has ruined this country. I just hope that its message was ridiculing and not extolling.
