No, this movie stars no superheros..no explosions even....yet the drama and suspense here is as taught as the best of Hitchcock.
I admire the way they portray the high-end dinner and servers as integral aspects of the meeting. Horror dreamed up on a banquet table served with the finest food available. What irony. And have we changed? Now 1% of the US controls 70% of the wealth, and eats in luxury while the majority struggle to survive. Boardrooms are NOW a venue for multimillionaires to send jobs overseas with a flick of a pen, destroying lives at many points removed.
I'm obviously not placing this on the same level of the Holocaust, just saying how the powerful and rich destroy lives and livelihoods with the same broad strokes....some things never change..
I agree that this would/should have been nominated for best pic if released in theaters...
