A Shock To The System Jan Egleson

Michael Caine stars in this black comedy directed by Jan Egleson. When advertising executive Graham Marshall (Caine) is unexpectedly passed over for a promotion in favour of his younger and more ruthless colleague, he is overcome with rage. After accidentally causing the death of a panhandler on the subway, Graham finds out just how easy it is to kill and get away with it, and so he begins to employ his newfound skill in the boardroom.

With his career revived, he then decides to apply his deadly methods to those who have wronged him in other areas of his life. The cast also includes Elizabeth McGovern, Will Patton and Swoosie Kurtz.
