A dark comedy about a hapless businessman trying to fake his own kidnapping only to wind up at the center of a larger conspiracy. The cast is hit or miss. Joel Edgerton is funny as the evil boss but Charlize Theron mugs too hard at the camera, playing up her sex appeal. David Oyelowo does a fantastic job as the naive and resentful protagonist who decides to play dirty for once. But the movie makes the mistake of many a comedy these days and runs a half hour longer than necessary.
