Yuppie angst goes overboard

Rating: 1/10 (23 October 2000)

This film is a poor indictment of the materialistic mindset that rules the yuppie lifestyle. The film is full of cardboard charaterizations that do not represent real people. This film abandons the idea of establishing characters for the sake of portraying a collective lifestyle that can best be described as shallow "yuppiedom". No backstory of the characters is provided and we are left to deduce for ourselves the killer's motivation for perpetrating his crimes, i.e., living a spiritually empty and unsatisfying existence? Without being given a legitimate motive behind these murders and without the presence of any sort of fleshed out characters, the audience is left with a cast of totally one dimensional characters who are being killed off left and right by a murderer who has no greater motive than having too much free time on his hands.
