The strength of this uncomfortable yet irresistable film lies in its writing, with the performances a close second.

Top CriticA no-holds-barred performance by Eckhart. You really want to kill this guy by the time the closing credits roll.
03/21/03
This is a powerfully disturbing film about sexism, cruelty and the price you pay for making a pact with the devil.
01/01/00
It's an impressive film, and all the more so for being a debut feature. If this LaBute guy can keep his edge on a bigger budget, he's one to watch.

A disturbing, well observed screen debut from director LaBute, while the three central performances are spot on.

Top CriticIt's a creepy piece of work that gets under your skin, ruffles your sensibilities and just won't leave you alone.
01/01/00
A powerful moviegoing experience. Take my advice, and watch it with someone you love.
01/01/00
Eerily unflinching film that features three first-rate performances.
07/28/03
A dazzling, repellent exercise in which the case against men is closed before it's opened.
02/11/08
A dark, probing, truly disturbing exploration of yuppie angst and male anxieties as they manifest themselves in both the work and personal arenas.

Top CriticLaBute's debut film is hard to describe though the plot is simple enough, but this is not a film that depends on plot.
01/01/00
This is a fully realized movie, whose intelligence -- despite its grim findings -- dwarfs any Hollywood production. It’s a film to admire -- even if it leaves you cold.
01/01/00
Top CriticA stark, nasty little tale of competition, power and cruelty.
01/01/00
A highlight of the 97 Sundance Film Fest, LaBute's astonishing debut is a dark, probing, vastly entertaining satire about misogyny and sexual politics in the work as well as personal arena; LaBute is a major dialoguist to watch

A scary film about the very polluted hearts of two nasty white-collar workers.
02/28/02
Cruel, cool and pleasingly provocative.
