The dark side of Dilbert, Neil LaBute's scabrous In the Company of Men tells us all we ever wanted to know, or rather, all we already knew in our guts, about life on the postindustrial cube farm.

Ultimately, In the Company of Men may be a meditation on personal evil. And on a note as dour as that, I'd urge you to watch In the Company of Men, a 90s indie that's truly deserving of 'hidden gem' status.

I don't what finding humor in the most unsavory of situations says about me, but in terms of LaBute, it means that a first-class filmmaker has arrived on the scene.
