Usually the Austin Film Festival has very good films. But the opening night film Coffee, Kill Boss was absolutely awful. The film was poorly written, quickly filmed and without any redeeming value. The acting is also quite poor and unbelievable. It was supposed to be a comedy about a Board of Directors locked in an office and employees start killing each other. But while there were occasionally funny moments, the whole story seemed completely pointless. At first I thought they might be trying to satire the corporate business world, but that got lost along the way. Most of the characters were uninteresting and unlikable stereotypes. They managed to make fun of both the blind and the elderly. Many in the audience were just shaking their heads at how this film every got produced and accepted to AFF. It was a waste of 94 minutes that I'll never get back. If you see this film advertised, run in the other direction.
