A Shock to the system 1990

Starring: Michael Caine

Passed over for promotion and bored by his wife, a marketing executive turns to murder to resolve his difficulties.

Unoriginal black comedy where a man finds ingenious ways to get away with murder. Caine's performance is incredibly one-paced except for one scene in his bosses office; I'm guessing he was supposed to be cool and calculating, I found it a bit like wading through treacle. Most of the cast looked bored and only occasional scenes brought this to life. The whole murder idea was supposed to have been triggered after Caine had an electric shock. That idea kind of summed up the whole movie.        5/10
