Why this film failed (spoilers)
I thought it was going to be a ruthless competition between two competent employees aiming for the promotion.
A battle of wits and cunning plans.
Instead it was a battle between a barely competent employee (SWS) and a complete loser (JCR). We knew pretty soon that JCR wasnt going to win.
There was no excitement, tension or ruthless up-the-ante type tactics.
