Negative Positive
Title: Nah, grating and irritating without payoff
Review: Nothing much going on here in any sort of clever, witty, or probing way. I'm going to disagree with most here and say that the implausible storyline is exacerbated by Spacey, overacting and chewing scenery without restraint, nuance, or anything that allows other characters to work with successfully. He's immeasurably better as the heartless boss in Glengarry Glen Ross, a role played expertly (and of course helped by brilliant writing and story, two elements absent from Swimming With Sharks). You can feel that he "thinks" he's really doing it up right, but it's wanker stuff all the way down the line. Yawn. Many excellent office/workplace/boss films out there to see before bothering with this mediocre effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
