Swimming with Sharks (1994)

In the cutthroat world of Hollywood, where power is the ultimate currency, Buddy Ackerman stands as one of the industry's most formidable figures. A movie producer teetering on the brink of securing a higher-profile role, Buddy's rise to the top is as relentless as it is ruthless. Yet, with great power comes great unpleasantness - a lesson that Guy, his painfully naive assistant, is about to learn the hard way. Thrust into the daily grind of Buddy's tyranny, Guy endures an incessant onslaught of abuse and humiliation. But beneath his seemingly submissive exterior, Guy harbors ambitious dreams of his own. He aims to ascend the Hollywood hierarchy, viewing Buddy as his golden ticket to fame and fortune. However, the volatile dynamics of their relationship take a drastic turn when Guy stumbles upon a volatile secret, a nexus of personal intrigue involving himself, his producer girlfriend, and his despotic boss. Pushed to his limits, Guy decides he's had enough. His tolerance for abuse transforms into a thirst for revenge, setting the stage for a drastic role reversal. In an audacious act of defiance, Guy kidnaps Buddy, holding him hostage in his own luxurious home. Once the perpetrator of countless cruelties, Buddy now finds himself on the receiving end of Guy's pent-up wrath. The tables have turned, and the once docile assistant subjects his boss to a relentless campaign of torture. As the tension escalates, both men find themselves trapped in a high-stakes game of cat and mouse, their fates hanging in the balance. The night looms with uncertainty, leading to a climax where all cards will be laid bare on the table. In this darkly comedic tale of power and revenge, Swimming with Sharks serves as a stark reminder of the saying: as you sow, so shall you reap.
