HKFlix Says: 5 Stars
One of our favorite movies. Michael Caine gives a deliciously dark performance; Jan Egleson's direction is stylish, smart, and fun; and Gary Chang's score is one of the best ever recorded.
Avg. Rating:
  5 / 5 (based on 1 rating). What did you think of it?
Plot:Graham has suffered through mounting bills and a nagging wife to get his well-deserved promotion. But when his promotion is given to someone else, he arranges an "accident" for his annoying wife and creates another "mishap" for his new boss...
Overview:Madison Avenue exec Graham Marshall (Michael Caine) has paid his dues. He has suffered through mounting bills and a nagging wife to get his well-deserved promotion. But all that changes when his promotion is given to someone else. Annoyed and frustrated, Graham arranges an "accident" for his annoying wife, then seduces a young worker into his dark plot to create another "mishap", this time for his new boss. It seems like the world is finally Graham's oyster--but a missing cigarette lighter and a prying police detective may change all that.
