Very strange flick, with viewers divided into two groups, one who think that the movie is utter garbage and other who praise it.
Truth is, as always, somewhere in the middle,but my personal opinion is that it is really good. Again, as many movies before (Office Space, in a comedic style, Falling Down) this movie is trying to capture the feelings of an average man trapped into a routine in a meaningless job. Christian Slater did an excellent job portraying this type of person, who could tell that he could pull out such a performance fifteen years ago.
A men on the edge, hating his life, job, colleagues, and everything in between will after some unfortunate events try to look at things from another perspective .What conclusion will he draw is up to you to find out. I guess some of us will identify with the character of Bob Maconel, and that will give us an insight about ourselves. Although humorous at times, this is still a serious movie that tries to tackle alienation in a modern world,and twisted values that it upholds. Enjoy.
