Cruise

About This Movie

Cruise (2022) offers a rather unique twist on the telemarketing world. It’s not just about the calls, but the desperation behind them. The atmosphere is darkly comedic, blending satire with a sense of impending doom as the protagonist navigates his bizarre workplace. The pacing keeps you engaged, with moments of tension that feel almost palpable, thanks to the performances that lean into the absurdity of the situation. It’s interesting how the film plays with the consequences of failure in this job—really emphasizes the character's plight and the broader themes of capitalism and desperation. There are some practical effects that enhance a few key scenes, adding to the overall quirkiness of the narrative. Definitely a curious watch in the comedy-thriller space.
