Nick (Jason Bateman) is an accountant at a financial firm and thought he was in line for a promotion, but his back-stabbing, egotistical boss, Dave (Kevin Spacey), steals the opportunity out from under him. The premise is simple: three buddies, all miserable at their current their jobs because of the people they work for, hire a hit man to kill their bosses. I only wish we got to see more of them, because even though they’re meant to die, the bosses are the most interesting and amusing people on-screen. It does, however, give the actors, especially the villainous bosses, a chance to play rich, colorful characters, which they do quite well. ![]() This is a set ‘em up and knock ‘em down kind of comedy that’s brisk, consistent and reliable, though it doesn’t exactly go above and beyond its call of duty. ![]() Horrible Bosses is more or less what you expect, and that’s pretty good considering the previews and premise made it look funny. ![]() Movie Review: Horrible Bosses By Matthew Huntley July 14, 2011
