Geschichte
Corporate Ladder follows Matt, an up-and-coming advertising executive, who is on the brink of securing a major deal with a jeans company. Enter his new assistant, Kathleen Kinmont, who impresses not only Matt but also the client, winning the deal for him. However, Kinmont has her sights set not just on career advancement but also on Matt himself. Despite being married to Talisa Soto and expecting their child, Matt succumbs to Kinmont's charms and begins an affair with her. Meanwhile, Ben Cross, Matt's associate/rival, coerces women into sexual favors to advance their careers. As the film progresses, it becomes clear that Kinmont is not just a love interest but a dangerous force, leading to a deadly conclusion reminiscent of Fatal Attraction.
Zusammenfassung
Corporate Ladder (1997) is a thriller directed by Nick Vallelonga and originally aired on the Playboy Channel. It's filled with pseudo-erotica and features strong performances from Kathleen Kinmont as Matt's seductive assistant, Anthony Denison as the conflicted Matt, and Ben Cross as Matt's sleazy associate. The film explores themes of ambition, power, and infidelity in the corporate world, downplaying morality in its exploration of these themes. Despite some repetitive dialogue, it sustains interest throughout.
