Why IMDB would use 'Comedy' as the first descriptor of this movie is beyond reason. The cast and acting is superb, however the movie drags on as the Chef becomes more and more abusive and as some of his staff commit suicide. There was no humor black or otherwise at any point in this movie. The chef was emotionally abusive, he himself is a very disturbed individual. The only thing that kept me and my partner from walking out on this movie was a hopeful curiosity that something would change at the end and someone might escape a gruesome death. I would not go to this movie if someone paid me $1000. There are so many other good movies out there that are more than just a tedious depiction of psychopathy.
