  1. My problem with it was I just didn't feel any of the guests had done anything bad enough to deserve death (except possibly the guy who knew they were all going to die and brought a date with him anyway). And so the reaction of Slowik to not being satisfied with his life - just felt psychotic and self-indulgent. I didn't even find Margot/Erica all that sympathetic: she makes no effort at all to save anyone else or to try to talk Slowik out of his mass murder/suicide plan. At the same time, I'm asked to feel sorry for this celebrity chef who keeps his subordinates in near slave-like conditions for his restaurant's success, and then kills a load of them and his guests because HE is having an identity crisis. Interesting film, a lot to recommend it: but also a bit morally all over the place.

  2. A film critic critiquing a film that is critical of overly critical critics. This is critic-ception.

  3. I hate to be a downer - but she's a hooker: figuring out what men want and telling them what they want to hear, is literally what she does for a living. I'd have said whatever I had to say to get me out of there too.
