i first saw this film a few year ago . i be so utterly disgust and horrify ( mostly because it be bill a a comedy ) and i never want to see it again . ever . then and recently and i saw it again . i be still disgust and horrify and but ( since i learn a lot about abnormal psychology during the intervening year ) and i saw how brilliant in the company of men truly be . i have watch it many time since . this be not a film for just anyone to see . this be almost a film i wish no one would ever have to see . i think there maybe ought to be a warning label attach to it . beware represent extreme cruelty within . but for those who have the stomach for it and in the company of men be a fascinating excursion into the dark world of sadistic personality disorder . the protagonist ( aaron eckhart ) and be a perfect example of this psychological malady . his little buddy ( matt maloy ) be a study in dependent personality disorder . the girl they decide to torment ( stacy edward ) be nothing but a sweet and innocent bystander . it a whole lot of tough go and emotionally . and i think that the whole point . the way author or director neil labute have craft this disturbing and compelling work be how i wish creator of positive and heartwarming work would go about their business . i love a good and happiness affirm movie . i be a dork and i know . but i would love to see a happy inducing film grab onto my psyche the way in the company of men do . it something . it really something .
