How sad is this?

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I borrowed the movie from a buddy at work. He kept telling me the movie was "alright"So i figured, what the hell.Wow, what i great movie. It's got kind of a satisfying feeling about it when the ending gets close. But it's basically about how someone who has been working hard at their job for years, suddenly gets fired, and now he's sort of out for revenge. But has a twist of Karma thrown in the mix too....and has a lesson to be learned. (obviously as the movie description states)But it's got that revenge kind of "feel" to it, just like "Office Space". But this movie isn't as soft and funny. It's a little cruel but STILL VERY FUNNY at the same time. Kind of a weird mixture of the two.And it does have a few sex scenes or sexually explicit stuff.It seems like these kinds of movies are always swept under the rug when they first come out....just because they involve "sensitive issues", like Workplace Violence and things like that.....But it IS a good movie, regardless.

I watched this movie last night because I thought I was about to watch the "Employee of the Month" movie with Jessica Simpson and Dane Cook in it. As soon as I realized it wasn't the same movie I initially thought maybe the wrong movie was placed in the cover, etc. Anyway, I actually enjoyed this movie. I love comedy's and I love movies that actually have a decent plot and this one did. I tend to shy away from movies that have something take place and then as the actor/actress snaps out of their dream/funk the real deal takes place. This movie isn't full of these, but does contain a few and it didn't disrupt the movie at all. It also keeps you guessing in a way and it's pretty easy to figure out at the end. Even the final twist you know who the person is walking up to the car. Or at least you should! I checked spoiler even though I don't think I leaked anything, but really not sure what the guidelines are here. Also, I probably could have ranked the movie a bit higher.

This movie was a very good effort. Matt Dillon plays David, the bank employee coming up on his two year review expecting a bonus and paid benefits but is fired instead. Things start really head south for him after that. He endures a day that continually gets worse from there culminating is a ten minute ending where there is surprise after surprise strung together.Steve Zahn as Jack is simply outstanding and Dave Foley delivers an underrated effort. In particular, the exchanges between these two are priceless.Jay Leggetts' character Dorff was both odd and hysterical and his interaction with Jack was very good.A special shout out to Jenna Fischer as the hooker Misty whose exchange with Matt Dillon in the hotel room still has me laughing. Otherwise, the efforts on the part of the female leads was lacking.All in all this movie is in my list of "drop everything" when it is on to watch. At the end of the day there are a couple subtleties that have me curious regarding David. He does a couple things in the movie that left me wondering if he was trying to do the right thing or mess with someone else?

'1' might seem an unduly harsh rating for this movie. After all, there are probably worse movies out there. But as far as i am concerned, if a movie is so bad it leaves you depressed and hollow inside, mourning the precious precious time that could have been spent memorizing the first 100 digits of pi, it is bad enough. The back of the box already gives you a warning. "A film in the style of the Cohen Brothers" it claims. When will i ever learn? I don't believe I fell for that. Real filmmakers don't want to be compared to other contemporary filmmakers, they want to stand on their own. A Cohen Brothers film compared to this is like comparing a Mozart symphony to a car alarm. This was one of those movies which attempts to be witty and edgy, the pitch was probably something like "The Bigh Lebowski meets Fight Club". For example, there is a scene where the main character is fired by his boss, and he pulls a gun on him. Then, big surprise, its revealed that never happened outside his imagination. The problem is that the boss was so cartoonishly odious that pulling a gun on him seems like an understatement. The scene fell flat, it wasn't surprising or shocking in the least. The dialog is peppered with attempts at wittiness and edginess, unfortunately it uniformly fails to be either. For instance, there was a little exchange that went something like: "His name is Fred Thomas." "So has two first names?" "Yes, what's your point." "No point, just making an observation." This little exchange had no point other than to bask in its own wittiness. Handled well, this might have been a barely acceptable stab at Pulp Fiction-like verbal interplay. It wasn't, it was so painfully awkward and unfunny that i felt embarrassed watching it. The movie is full of hollow and pointless "edgy" stylistic touches, like random pauses and fast forwards. The soundtrack slavishly plays to current teenage trendiness. The 'the dude' analog was shill and obnoxious. I haven't mentioned the plot, because it is not worth mentioning. Very very little happens before the pathetically contrived series of twists at the end. Avoid at all costs, not seeing this movie is worth at least $75.
