Stephen L Ruthless, darkly funny, and disturbingly believable, Swimming with Sharks takes a scalpel to Hollywood power dynamics and slices deep. Kevin Spacey is magnetic in one of his most vicious roles, delivering a masterclass in controlled cruelty. Smartly written and lean in structure, the film works both as satire and psychological chamber piece. It’s brutal, sometimes bleakly hilarious — and far more honest about the industry than most of its glossier peers.

I feel a little sick Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Бавуу Э Guy (Frank Whaley) is a young film executive who's willing to do whatever it takes to make it in Hollywood. He begins working for famed producer Buddy Ackerman (Kevin Spacey), a domineering, manipulative, coldhearted boss. When Guy also finds out that his cynical girlfriend, Dawn (Michelle Forbes), has been using sex as a career move, he reaches his limit. Guy decides to exact revenge on Buddy by kidnapping him and subjecting him to cruel and unusual punishment. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/29/24 Full Review Bacon N Surprisingly engaging. I've seen it called a comedy, but I didn't see much humor. Spacey gives an excellent performance as an unbelievably assholish asshole. Whaley seems somewhat miscast in this role. He performs well the overrun employee, seeming even to deserve some of the abuse. It's in the payback realm that he is far less convincing. The surprise ending is far less than convincing, almost absurd, but how else could it end and remain compelling? I would've like to see a lot more from Del Toro, I can't figure out why he was cast in such a nothing role. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/31/24 Full Review Read all reviews
