When he passes away suddenly and his son Bradley (Dylan O'Brien) takes over this is immediately canned and he gives the role to one of his golf bros in the Sales dept. He needs a "people person".
The company is relying Linda's expertise for a complicated business negotiation so she joins the crowd of executives on the company jet to Thailand. Bradley lured her on board with a 'second chance' at promotion but plans to let her go straight after this.
When the plane ditches and only Linda and an injured Bradley make it to a small tropical island her outdoorsy hobbies and obsession with the TV show Survivor puts her very much in charge.
No good will come of this.
CW: bloody violence, mutilation, bush tucker vileness
Sam Raimi is back and doing very Sam Raimi stuff.
Linda is changed by the new superiority she has over Bradley and is willing to do anything to keep that. Scorned, autistic coded, woman turns evil is a bit of a tired trope but it's done with humour and Bradley continuing to be an asshole really helps sell this.
Both leads really lean into the comedy, McAdams is always reliable but Dylan O'Brien really sells selfish bro brought low with some whimpering that works well. There are plenty of grim laughs and it's surprisingly bloody in places, but well Sam Raimi.
It does some very shallow "power corrupts" musing but it's just a great fun watch with occasional slapstick gory silliness 8/10.
