Review by Aaron Haughton

What would you do to your boss or co-workers if you were infected with a virus that legally granted you immunity to any heinous act of violence or debauchery you could commit while under its influence? That's what director Joe Lynch and screenwriter Matias Caruso explore in their latest film, Mayhem; what happens to a dog-eat-dog work environment when it literally becomes cutthroat. The end result feels part comic book, part video game, which equals a whole lot of bloody fun.

Derek Cho (Steven Yeun) is having the worst day. After being unjustly fired from his job, he discovers that the firm's building is under quarantine for a dangerous virus. While technically non-lethal — unless someone inflicted with the virus kills you, that is — the virus brings the id of those infected to the forefront, resulting in the rapid loss of morals, which general culminate into acts of sex and violence. Chaos quickly erupts throughout the office as the victims of the disease begin acting out their wildest impulses. Joining forces with a former client (Samara Weaving) who has a grudge of her own, Derek savagely fights to get to the executives on the top floor so he can settle the score once and for all.
