Review

"The fastest way to get to the top is to work with someone already there." This is the advice taken to heart by ambitious but naïve writer Guy (Whaley) when he accepts the job as assistant to Buddy Ackerman (Spacey), the abusive V.P. of Production of Keystone Pictures. But daily dosages of insults take their toll as Guy takes Buddy hostage. And through a series of flashbacks, Swimming with Sharks tells the story of what drove Guy to this act and to possibly commit murder. Writer-director Huang's black comedy is of the darkest shade, a numbing satire whose venom penetrates to the bone. This viciously funny film forgoes playful swipes and even subtlety in its view of Hollywood and instead flaunts an industry where "punching below the belt is rewarded." Spacey gives a dazzling portrayal of the acid-tongued, demanding exec; it's at once vile, funny, brutal and remarkably controlled. "Shut up, listen, and learn."
