The Employer is a highly professional production, with great actors, good lighting and even a decent script. It's the story that's a little lame. We've seen it before, in Cube, in Saw and several others. In this movie, however, there's less intrigue, less tension, and none of the mechanical sophistication that makes Cube and Saw movies such a delight. I did enjoy it, true, as it has just enough suspense in its horrible premise to keep the viewer interested, but I'd recommend other movies before this one. Mind you, there are are so many movies of this ilk now that it would have to be considered a genre, like zombie, vampire or teen slasher movies. So, perhaps I do recommend it, particularly if you are a lover of this new genre. If that's the case then The Employer will be important viewing, as it it best illustrates what can be done on a bare minimum.
