Office Uprising (2018)

Gripping story with well-crafted characters

Dreadfully Boring

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Not a bad movie, the story gets bit here and there but overall it was put together well. The editing and action scenes were flawless though.

Office Uprising is an action horror comedy about Desmond, a slacker who works at Ammotech, the world's leading weapons manufacturing company. When Zolt, a popular energy drink, is released to the office and turns his coworkers into violent savages Desmond must rescue his true love and get out of the building alive. I found the performances to be well-done, Karan Soni does a good job as the "sidekick" role, Jane Levy is great bouncing back from human to zombie, and Zachary Levi is obviously having the time of his life playing Adam Nussbaum, the main antagonist, a man with power and an accent to boot. The jokes are also well done, and even the ones that don't work can be forgiven because you know a good one's right up the corner. That said, when the film tried to be serious it came off as forced, and some of the effects are far from special. All in all, Office Uprising may not be an oscar contender, but it's still a fun ride worth a watch.

I wish this happened at my work place lol. Reminds me of the good ol Shaun of the dead but more of a wild and better updated version. Was pretty awesome!

I just don't get the SOTD references, this movie has no resemblence to it (or any other zombie movie) whatsoever. First off there are no 'zombies' in this film - no flesh eating of any kind. More like they are driven to extreme violence by some minor irritation, as evidenced by the bipolar reactions of Samantha. A much better reference for Office Uprising is the 2016 film The Belko Experiment. Although published filming locations differ (Alabama for this, Bogota for Belko) it's obvious both movies appear to be filmed in the same building with sealing shutters. The scenarios are completely different but unfold in a similar matter. One seriously the other humourously. I gave this an 8 because there were some genuinely funny lines and scenes, acting was good but mainly everyone knows a douchebag like Nusbaum at work and the HR women are spot-on. A great night would be watching both - Belko first then Office.
