Overall Call:
First time director George Huang has successfully delivered a darkly layered drama/comedy. The story is one that anyone who has endured a jerk of a boss has fantasized about. The cast is small and overwhelmingly solid in their performances. As Guy spins out of control situations unravel you might not have suspected, including the ending. This is a great little indie film about abusive Executives and the abusive business that is Hollywood. Swimming with Sharks is a very entertaining film I recommend highly.

Reasons For Recommendation:
+ Great little indie flick
+ Solid story and acting
