Synopsis
A Shock to the System (1990) is a pitch-black corporate comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Michael Caine stars as Graham Marshall, an ad man who has just been passed over.
Marshall gave the agency two decades and expected the corner office. It goes to a smug younger rival instead. One accidental death later, he realizes how neatly a problem can disappear — and the body count starts climbing the ladder right alongside him. Elizabeth McGovern plays the colleague who senses something is off, Will Patton the rival, Swoosie Kurtz the wife whose spending he is suddenly done tolerating.
Directed by Jan Egleson from Simon Brett's novel, the film runs on Caine's ice-cold voice-over; he is murderer and tour guide at once, and you catch yourself quietly rooting for him. The humor is dry as office air, the morality nonexistent. Stream A Shock to the System online on iFILM.
