Faithfully adapted from a Donald Westlake's novel, maybe among his best novels ever, far from his comedy crime Dortmunder's adventures, this film is itself among the best stories ever told concerning the unemployed managers and executives, the authentic jungle of the inner big companies policies and rules, the jungle of mandatory smiles, kingdom of hypocrisy or how to survive in such a fierce and ruthless world. Mllions of people could recognize themselves in Jose Garcia's character, as the reader of Westlake's book also could become the main lead. This is a terrific tale about a terrible situation concerning an awful world where the enemies are the problem but unfortunately not the solution. Only poor innocents fellows are. Awesome and awful.
