4.0 out of 5 stars An offbeat introduction to T.S. Eliot, for one thing, May 2, 1999

This review is from: Hostile Takeover [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is no high-budget film - in fact, it looks so low-budget I took off a star to avoid misleading - but it manages to be an unexpected and oddly sweet, sad film (the pugnacious title might have been an executive glue-on; the title of the novel was Office Party) in which the hostage-taking mental case seems, strangely, to really be the nicest guy in the workplace, and in which a frightening crisis bares everyone's inner life to each other... This is one of the movies that you might show someone and have them look at you quizzically afterward - so why did you like that one so much? - but it's worth seeing. For me it's one of the oddball keepers.
