It's very much Fincher's Point Blank (also an examination/indictment of corporate culture) only instead of his Porter/Parker character being hyper competent he's mostly a fuck-up and the corporate culture "he's up against" is now not just one outfit on the upswing but ubiquitous, amorphous, and infectious. Unlike Marvin's Porter, Fassbender's character yearns to be part of this world, unlike Porter his whole ethos is bullshit and he's unable to even remotely stick to it.

There's an amount of intention and attention in the film that's easy to miss and even on first watch, I felt it was slight and just minor Fincher but it needled around in my brain all weekend and on rewatch there's a lot here and a lot that's missed. People will revisit this film in a few years and it'll get its due in time.

This would also pair really well with Jarmusch's woefully underseen The Limits of Control. They're in some ways very similar and many ways the the inverse of each other and also great distillations of how they view the world, their storytelling choices and their filmmaking styles.
