Great cast and premise in a very well done film

Rating: 8/10 (9 September 2011)

The cast and premise were what drew me into Horrible Bosses in the first place and while they are the main excellent things about the film Horrible Bosses succeeds in many other ways too. The film is photographed and edited beautifully and with precision, and Horrible Bosses also boasts a driven soundtrack and efficient direction, as well as a sharp and witty script, a compelling story that lives up to its great premise and well observed characters. The cast give their all, I thought Kevin Spacey was the standout, however Colin Farrell and Charlie Day were also excellent and I don't think I have seen Jennifer Aniston better than she was here. Overall, a very well done film that serves its cast and premise well. 8/10 Bethany Cox
