Product Description:

Amazon.com:
Two bored businessmen, exiled to a remote company outpost on a six-week business trip, decide to enliven their visit by romancing a deaf woman and then savagely dumping her. Slimy Chad (Aaron Eckhart) convinces schlumphy Howard (Matt Molloy) to take part in the vicious scheme by framing it as an act of revenge against uppity womankind, but it quickly becomes apparent that he harbors some even more sinister motives. What might have been a simple exploration (some, no doubt, would say reiteration) of straightforward misogyny is elevated by the remarkable performance of Eckhart; at once charming and nauseating, his fascinating interpretation of pure competitive evil dominates the film. Neil LaBute's intelligent script is somewhat reminiscent of Whit Stillman's darker moments (minus the collegiate cleverness and zany warmth), and his direction, while rarely visually impressive, does connote the hellish impersonality of corporate interiors with chilling success. The director-screenwriter deserves additional plaudits for resisting both the tidal pull toward poetic justice and the temptation to draw either of his main characters as even slightly sympathetic. A study in ugliness, a rubbernecker's delight, a time bomb. --Miles Bethany

The Bottom Line:
In the Company of Men doesn't always have the most innovative direction or impressive production values, but it's exceptionally well-written and acted, telling a story of evil all the more persuasively for its lack of gunfights and long-winded speeches; a rather harrowing movie that has lost little in the decade since its release, ItCoM will get under your skin and stay there.

They say the sign of a great movie is if it makes you think about it the day after seeing it. You'll be thinking about this movie for a couple days.

Two alpha-male business men on a business trip, Chad (Aaron Eckhart) and Howard (Matt Malloy), set out to destroy a deaf woman, Christine (Stacy Edwards), by getting her to fall in love with them and then dumping her, in order to get revenge on women in general.
"In the Company of Men" is possibly one of the most mean-spirited and misanthropic movies that I have ever seen (I say misanthropic rather than misogynistic, since, although many of the characters in the film are misogynists, ... Read More

An unbelievably brilliant, cold blooded, mean, cruel, comedic drama. This is the first movie I saw Aaron Eckhart in, and he plays his role brilliantly.
I don't want to give too much away, but his portrayal of the psychopathic mind is absolutely flawless. And it is one of those films where every time you watch it, you see something deeper - an angle, lighting, music, etc. And the ending is like - holy god.
Rating: -
This movie was very good but very disturbing and VERY mean spirited. Aaron Eckhart shines and is the stand out in this role. I liked it but I am not sure it is for everybody cause it is just a nasty movie.
