The characters in this film are so repellent that they even make the attorneys look like saints.
Jerry Dennings has spent ten years moving his way up in to a VP in a large corporation. But in this film, he turns out to be the hapless looser in a scam to defraud his company of $10 million.
Jerry's partner in crime is the much more savvy Rebecca Walker, who is the key player in the $10 million settlement for wrongful termination of Jerry from his job. It is clear that Rebecca has all the brains in the planning of the scheme, as apparent in the following dialogue:
JERRY: How do we know they haven't sent these photos to the police?
REBECCA: Because we're not in jail.
With this level of banter, the film is lively, and the plot twists keep piling up. Nearly all of the characters are shady with the possible exception of Jerry's mousy wife Shannon, who just seems to keep showing up at the most awkward moments in Jerry's tumultuous life. Although he he is now unemployed and has received a $10 payout, he finds a way to keep constantly on the defense from his fellow schemers.
At stake in this film is a $10 million payout for the last man or woman standing. The question is who will have the most resolve, stamina, and creativity to eliminate the cutthroat competition for the big jackpot.
