Review of Swimming with Sharks (1994) by Kevin J — 22 Jul 2014
This one is an alright little film. Kevin Spacey is phenomenal here and the satire element is very good (though not very funny, as I barely laughed here). The general story is alright as well, but the dark tonal shifts and the ending are very disappointing and leave me wondering what this one would have been like if it had not gone down that route.
If they focused more on the lighter (though belittling) elements, the film would have been far better. But, as it stands, the film is fine and is a good portrayal of life in the film industry and is quite enjoyable.
The length is perfect and the writing is very strong throughout, so I cannot be too mad at this one.
