Review of In the Company of Men (1995) by N H — 17 Feb 2009

Cruel and mean-spirited low budget film about a man playing playing a prank on an innoncent deaf woman with the aid of a fellow co-worker, just for the sake of it. A well-written screenplay never fully clarifies everything until the very end.

This is Aaron Eckharts first role of any relevance. He is chilling in his role which boils down to a sociopath, although one who blends into society extremely well. He cares about no one except himself and will hurt others for an easy laugh attempting to feedh is own ego.

Director and playright Neil LaButes' first film. He would unfortunately go on to direct Nicholas Cage in the horrible Wicker Man remake.
