Rick is a rare feature that makes intelligent and exciting use of audience bewilderment. From its opening scenes, this quirky update of Verdi's Rigoletto thrusts viewers into a bizarre corporate cultu...( read more  read more... )re in which mean-spiritedness, adolescent high jinks, and general dimwittedness are the norm, but there is no explanation as to why. Yet it's impossible to turn away from the madness and decadence of scenes in which Bill Pullman's middle-aged executive, Rick, engages in monstrous behavior toward subordinates or exchanges in fraternal obscenities with his young, clueless boss, Duke (Aaron Stanford), who is routinely enjoying anonymous, online sex with Rick's daughter, Eve (Agnes Bruckner). Screenwriter Daniel Handler, better known to the world as author Lemony Snicket, and director Curtiss Clayton slowly introduce enough background to unlock the central tragedy in this tale, and lead everyone to a shared, startling destiny. Cinematographer Lisa Rinzler (Pollock) sets everything against a fantastic cityscape and voyeuristic hell. --Tom Keogh

    Rick is an asshole who deserves what he's about to get after ...( read more)humiliating an asian woman who was just wanting a job. In the interview he systematically leads her on and insults her. When he goes to a club, she happens to be his waitress and he still insults her again. This time she doesn't take it anymore and puts a curse on him. Also there's Rick's daughter Eve, who has cyber sex with Rick's much younger boss, Duke, played by Aaron Stanford. When Rick and Eve go to a business party Duke assumes that Eve is Rick's wife and immediately wants to bang her and does. I don't want to spoil too much, but it's sad to what else also happens to Eve. I'll just leave it at that. Also there's Buck, Rick's College buddy who has his own business: Killing business competitors. I thought that was funny. He's played by Dylan Baker. He does a good job. They all did an excellent job at being rotten. With the acting aside, I must also praise the cinematography which looked beautiful. Don't expect to like the story of this film because it's not something to like. It is however a film of cruel, backstabbing and loathsome characters which I couldn't care for except to feel glad I wasn't them. So, when you're watching this film just feel thankful that you're not like Rick.

    beware chinese curses. sadly there are really people in the world like this. in the end all this film gave me was a bad feeling in the pit of my gut. meaning the creators did a good job of getting their point across.
