Mayhem

(Not to be confused with the Muppet show on Disney+. )

A vicious satire about office politics during a “Purge” type of epidemic in a high-rise office building. Steven Yeun and Samara Weaving are full HAM in this tribute to The Raid: Redemption and/or Dredd, as they kill their way to the top floor to confront the big boss (Steven Brand). Well-paced, dark, and funny, with a skillful, twisty conclusion. Well-calibrated tone; it never loses its sense of wicked fun.
