Audience Member Five strangers have to fight to the death to find out which one of them gets a job in the mergers and acquisitions department of a consulting firm. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member No poster again , maybe because the acting of the employes was so bad...how stupid can you keep be to kill people just for a job , i kill for losing my job :-) Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Locked room thriller that asks 'how far would you go' for The Employer, but it's been done better and with more clarity and purpose. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member "IN ORDER TO GET THE JOB, YOU MUST ELIMINATE THE COMPETITION" - 'The Employer' is a psychological thriller written and directed by Frank Merle. I've got a thing for films where strangers are trapped in a place and forced to work with/kill each other to make their escape. The storyline appealed me, but now that I have seen the movie, I feel disappointed. Some of the twists are too farfetched and seem illogical. At the end, I still had some unanswered questions. Pity. In the cast we see Malcolm McDowell (a Clockwork Orange, Rob Zombies Halloween) and cameo-role from Billy Zane (Titanic, Dead Calm). How far would you go to get the dream job? Five strangers (three men and two women) wake up in a locked room after being drugged and kidnapped by mysterious men. They don't seem to have anything in common, until they learn that each of them has solicited for a position at the Carcharias Corporation, a large and powerful company. The five receive a telephone call from the interviewer, only known to them as 'The Employer' (McDowell). He explains them that only one of them will be getting the job; the one who's the last person alive in the room... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Unfortunately, the material here is a little too repetitious to recommend and The Employer's story has been seen in film several times before. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Ultimately rubbish, but quite good fun from a certain low budget perspective. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
