I thought I'd have guessed the plot before watching as a reworking of Motörhead's Eat the Rich in film form. However, it was much better than that. There's enough suspense and plot, people may whinge at the customer's lack of fight, but they represent the rich and spineless. So it is no surprise the various twists that they are so easily taken hostage. When you take into account that at all points throughout you can see hope and hopelessness all at the same time battling away. The can we can't we and the failures keep them down and chastened. The heroism is missing and this isn't a plot spoiler it simply is obvious from the beginning. More the questions will come up as the plot unfolds. So relax with a glass of Sancerre or Chablis and don't try to think about it too much, just relax and see where it goes. Which of them if any will survive and if so how will all be revealed as the courses are served. I am sure you will find Ralph Fiennes to be delectable and Anya Taylor Joy delicious.
