A darkly humorous plunge into the life of an office drone who harbors thoughts of terminating his co-workers but never has the courage to pull the trigger.
On one fateful afternoon, Bob Maconel (
Christian Slater) crosses the line from potential killer to inadvertent hero when he saves beautiful Venessa (
Elisha Cuthbert) from another man's bullet.
His boss (
William H. Macy) transforms Bob into an executive but his good fortune is short lived when the object of his desire asks him to end her life.
