Attorney Derek Cho (a fine and likeable performance by Steven Yuen) gets wrongfully sacked from his job. Cho's already bad day gets worse when a virus infects people in the workplace that causes the infected to act out their worst and most toxic id impulses.
Director Joe Lynch keeps the enjoyably wild story hurtling along at a brisk pace, maintains a blithely bent, batty, and berserk tone throughout, derives loads of laughs from the wickedly funny sense of twisted black humor, and delivers a handy helping of gloriously excessive gory violence. Matias Caruso's savage script pokes deliciously vicious fun at the ruthless soul-crushing dog-eat-dog-competitive nature of the big business white collar work environment.
Moreover, it's acted with zest by an enthusiastic cast: Samara Weaving as the feisty Melanie Cross, Steven Brand as sadistic slimeball boss John Towers, Caroline Chikezie as the formidable Kara Powell, Kerry Fox as the icy Irene Smythe, Dallas Roberts as the callous Lester McGill, Mark Frost as the burned-out Ewan Niles, Claire Dellamar as venomous secretary Meg, and Andre Eriksen as the brutish Colton Snyder. Steve Gainer's slick cinematography provides an impressive glossy look and makes neat smooth use of an often gliding'n'floating camera. Steven Moore's robust pulsating score does the rousing spot. A total blast.
