You have to wonder if anyone at netflix can read? And the players? Did any of them read this script before accepting? Talented people making the best of poor material.

Old pro John Larroquette is given a tricky Kevin Spacey type role requiring him to convey simmering intelligence, disgust, desperation, impotence and rage and he kills it, in the good way. The whole plot of this film is simply the one work day in a man's life when he is inescapably confronted with the truth that for all his abilities and initial potential, he is a failure. The screenplay and the actor vividly portray the character flaws that have brought him to that moment. But that is all there is here, my friends, and if that doesn't sound like a movie to you, you aren't going to like it, so don't watch it and then complain.That the film is paced and photographed in a way reminiscent of Rod Serling, with skillfully building tension and suspense, will lead the viewer not getting it into think something very 'big' is going to happen. It does, the main character discovers he's been (figuratively) stabbed in the back, but since no special effects are involved, those viewers will sit there, still waiting.If you enjoy movies that are mostly just character studies, and you have some interest in or identification with late mid-life crises, you'll probably get something out of this one. It is more than a movie about an actor acting.

Its totally a waste of time. I am not sure how such a crap movie got such a high IMDb rating. In my view, its an effort to depict the meaninglessness in life but I am very confused if it even accomplished that. The only great thing about this movie is its extremely low budget and I guess it might get any award for lowest budget film.

A true gem of a film with powerful yet nuanced performances which serve to tell a poignant story of life through the prism of one small store in a mall so generic it could be anywhere. This is one of those rare movies which provide a different experience to different viewers depending upon what they permit themselves to take from it. Some can watch it simply for the entertainment of watching two masters elevate their craft. Others will delve into the many subplots of the underlying morality tale and see a bit of themselves on screen. Sadly, there will always be those vociferous few who won't or can't see past the simple sets to appreciate the true masterpiece underneath.John Larroquette and John Rhys-Davies each deliver some of their best performances in recent memory. The rest of the cast should be applauded for raising their talents to meet the challenging level of artistry and wit the two stars effortlessly show here. Solidly written the story flows smoothly through several well structured plot twists. Not everything is as it seems, nor are people for that matter, and life is certainly never more than a mystery of what comes next formulated from the decisions of our past.
