From NetFlix:
Disgruntled buddies Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) can’t leave their miserable jobs, so they cook up a creative strategy for eliminating each other’s micromanaging and maniacal employers (Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey) instead in this crackpot comedy. Peculiar advice from con artist Motherf**ker Jones (Jamie Foxx) gets the scheme in motion, but the pals can’t keep the wheels from flying off.
While I was busy shredding various pieces of paper it was appropriate to also watch this barely acceptable C-film. Every now and then mixed in with all the crude language were some really good laughs. Revenge films always get to me because I want to see the villains get what is coming to them.
Kevin Spacey reminds me of Anthony Hopkins in one respect: both men have done some fine acting, but some reason (money ?) they have also appeared in some really stupid films that would seem beneath their level of ability. Best to watch Kevin Spacey in Margin Call (2011). Best to watch Anthony Hopkins in “Remains of the Day” instead of, groan, “Zorro”. Probably I should say the same for Colin Farrell, whom I did not even recognize as the coke-head. Best to watch him in In Bruges (2008).
On the other hand Jason Bateman (“Arrested Development”), Jason Sudeikis (“The Bounty Hunter”), Charlie Day (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”), and Jennifer Aniston (“The Bounty Hunter”) are just where they belong.
