Review of Swimming with Sharks (1994) by Shiela E — 05 Nov 2011
Excellent movie. kevin spacey is at his slimey best here as the boss from hell (it sounds like he basically reprises this same role in "Horrible Bosses" and I am curious as to what that will be like).
he is downright loathesome, but you can't help but laugh too. the movie takes some big turns afterward though. you get some insight into what made spacey's character the way he is. you actually learn to empathize with him (at least I did).
likewise, you realize that frank whaley isn't the snow white hero he seemed to be at the beginning of the film. it shows that we humans are really complicated. there are many facets to us both good and bad, and much more often than we might like to admit, the bad side of us is allowed to win if we want something enough.
