What a great cast and what a great film. Never heard of it? Do not let that put you off. Some of the scenes in this film are just utterly brilliant and unforgettable. Pure genius.
Overall the film is an entertaining look at a rookie movie mogul trying to climb the greasy ladder to the top of the industry. How far will he let his boss (Kevin Spacey) push him? What humiliation will he endure to ensure he gets noticed?

Spacey got noticed in Hollywood with this film
Review date: 2007-05-21 Rating: 8 out of 10
This film just sums up what it is to be a flunky in Hollywood. Buddy Ackerman is your normal high flying film producer, from the sharp suits down to the aggressive approach to anyone below him. Guy is flunky who has the job of dealing with Buddy's every whim, and then there's Dawn Lockard who is stuck in the middle. With an explosive relationship between all of them, the film is set at the home of Buddy. Guy has taken him hostage, and is annoyed that Buddy has fired him. Set with a series of flashbacks starting with an appearance with Benicio Del Toro, it tells the tale of what Guy has had to put up with in working for Buddy and all the hell he was put through to get to the place that he was before being fired over nothing. Very under-rated film and Spacey is amazing. Also applause to go to Frank Whaley for his great conflicting work with Spacey.
Watch out for the scene where Guy is desperate to go to the toilet, and Buddy doesn't let him leave his desk whilst pouring a jug of water in a glass...One of the most sadist scenes n Hollywood ever !
