The Assistant to a top Hollywood Executive takes as much abuse has he can from his nightmare of a boss.

Anything with Kevin Spacey is going to be great, but this seemed a lot longer than it's running time. Whaley starts out naive and eager to please, but ends up just as cold-hearted as his boss. Basically a three-person interior film. The performances are all great, but the ending had me scratching my head until I realized I didn't care that much about it.
