wow and what a great work of cinema . in the company of men will definitely go on my list of the best film of the 90 . this film tell u so much about power difference and manipulation in corporate america . on the surface and many people see the film a a misogynist tale of two men who want to emotionally abuse a vulnerable woman for the pure enjoyment of it . but the film dig much deep than that . it be more about manipulation in general . chad be symbolic of this manipulation . his real motif seem to be to manipulate people just because he can . i mean he get howard and a weak man to go along with his ruthless scheme even though it be quite obvious that he really doesn not want to . overall the film illustrate the length that some people will go and use their power to get ahead by feed on the vulnerability of the weak .
