The Temp - 1993 - 6/10
Peter is released from the mental clinic. Issue, paranoia.
Now divorced, he returns to work to find the company has been taken over – layoffs announced.
Help arrives in the form of a temp, Kris, who proves to be an adept workhorse.
Meanwhile, praise the maker, work enemies and adversaries encounter misfortune.
Better viewed as a black comedy, this is a Noir tinged thriller.
Studio interference crippled this one. Not to mention test audience surveys.
A twisted narrative, never properly resolved.
Coulda, shoulda. Guilty pleasure for me, yet a flawed movie.
