It can be said that the bosses encountered by the three wage earners in the movie are universal and represent the image of the boss that people most hate. Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman/Jason Bateman) is a clerk in a financial company, and his boss Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey/Kevin Spacey) is domineering and domineering. Often play a little clever, like to use the guise of "promotion" and "salary increase" to let people work hard. However, he is not a very trustworthy person. When the work of the subordinates is finished, the things that were promised will be vanished. In addition, in order to make his subordinates obediently, he used various methods such as threats and temptations, out of nothing. He is indeed an annoying guy.
And one of Nick's close friends, Dale Arbus (Charlie Day/Charlie Day) is a dental assistant. The boss is Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston/Jennifer Aniston), a female physician with a strong personality. What Julia represents is the kind of fake public benefit, who likes to take advantage of work to sexually harass the boss of his subordinates. What's more, her sexual harassment is not a sneaky one. Not only was he teasing Dale in the office, but he also used his hands and feet in front of the patient. Knowing that Dale is engaged and loves his girlfriend, he still deliberately tries to force Dale to submit. She has a hot body and is typical of a sexless and unpleasant boss.
Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis/Jason Sudeikis) and Nick and Dale are also friends. He is relatively lucky because his boss Jack Pellitt (Donald Sutherland/Donald Sutherland) is an amiable, knowledgeable elder. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Jack cocked his braids shortly after the opening. Due to Jack's sudden death, his original plan for Kurt to take over the company after his retirement could not be arranged in time. As a result, Bobby (Colin Farrell), the son of Jack's addict and bully, became Kurt's boss. Bobby is the kind of boss who doesn't know how to learn but likes to point fingers. In addition, this second generation ancestor is a perverted character who makes trouble everywhere. Obviously, Kurt has since joined the ranks of his two old friends and became one of the battered migrant workers.
The next story is about three hapless guys, complaining to each other about the bitterness of the workplace, and decided to take the risk and kill the three evil bosses. In order for the three little characters to come up with an air for the last time, the film screenwriter can be considered to have taken great pains to set up the game. Not only did the three evil bosses deserve their sins and were punished each, but also saved the three of them from imprisonment. It is a pity that too many coincidences, too many unreasonable factors, and the personality settings of the three little characters make people think that this is just a workman’s obscenity. Although, the film attempts to portray the three wage earners into a gentleman and rookie killer to create a comedy atmosphere. However, too much effort is often used, which obscures the moral values of several protagonists in the play. As a result, the three little characters who were originally sympathetic were not only unlovable, but became a member of the bastard family and complacent. They thought how great they were, and let out a sigh of relief for the migrant workers who had ousted their bad bosses. In fact, from beginning to end, the three of them acted only for themselves. Unfortunately, with the development of the plot, the image of three wage earners has become more and more disgusting for me as an audience.
In addition, the film’s portrayal of the bosses is extremely facial. The characters of the three bosses starred by celebrities are not credible. The only task of the actors seems to be to make the roles of the three bosses completely bad. As for the others, it is not important. Therefore, the purpose of the existence of the three characters is to let them be severely taught by their subordinates in the end. Taste the fruit of evil. Although the film makes every effort to justify what the three wage earners have done, the main plot is focused on how the wage earners arrange and avenge the evil bosses, while preventing the three from getting into trouble. As a result, while sacrificing characters and motives, the movie has lengthy and repetitive action details. Therefore, this movie is more like a prank conjectured by three wage earners with poor quality after being angry.
