A very realistic drama, the kind of scheme that we don't see so much. It is a topic about submission, humiliation between manager and employee or between two colleagues in a company. It is another way to describe the company jungle, the nastiest, disgusting ways used by ruthless managers or executives to select, get rid of weak collaboraters. It may seem horrible, gruesome, but so close to reality. Many employees, whatever their rank, their grade, may be the victim of their superiors. We can compare this story with a headhunters topic: selection, ruthless selection, whatever the means to obtain results. Eric Savin is here totally nasty, the perfect motherf.... A character that you will enjoy to see die, suffer. A pure delightful, but disturbing movie for some audiences, especially those who could have lived this. And it is also obvious that some scenes of this film, some elements, have been inspired from DELIVERANCE. First the river settings and also the scheme of the he man, the tough leader, who is suddenly wounded and the other "weak" companions have to rescue, help him. An excellent study, analysis of power and balance of power. Some weak points though, dialogues, screenplay flaws that could have been avoided with a better actors directing.
