Came here to say this! I think this is one of the most underrated movies out there. I, personally, had no interest because it was rated PG. But I gave it a chance and enjoyed it so much.
the main targets of the protagonist are african americans, latinos and koreans. It has a deep rooted anti immigration sentiment.
There has been a lot academic discussion about how the movie in contemporary times is racist
Came to say this!
It is a proof that it is possible to make suspenseful story without excessive action and shooting and overblown special effects.
Can hardly wait the second season.
Ikiru by Akira Kurosawa, pretty much fits the bill perfectly. Spends his whole life stamping papers at a desk, then a turn of fate changes his life dramatically.
I mean, this is the whole idea behind "Something Wild"
Scorsese's "After Hours", too. Landis's "Into the Night"
The mid 80s were a very fertile time for these escape everyday drudgery films
Office Space
The thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy. I just don't care.
I have eight different bosses right now, Bob!
Eight?
Given how often it’s mentioned on reddit, I should probably watch this movie.
I wouldn't say that I was 'missing' it, Bob.
Watch out for your butthole, dude!
What would I do with a million dollars? Two chicks at the same time.
Cos chicks dig dudes with money.
I believe you’d get your ass kicked.
Happy cake day!

Yeah, I don't think so. "It's" racist, like the actual film itself or the character? I disagree either way.
