Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Cody One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) The workforce is very cutthroat. You got to be the best in the field, and it can be murder. In "The Temp", it makes total sense. A divorced executive(Timothy Hutton) comes back to work after suffering from paranoia. His boss(Faye Dunaway) brings him back with a surprise: The cookie company is being bought by a major brand. Too many obstacles are being thrown at him. Rivals in his job are trying to get promoted, his secretary leaves when his wife is having a baby. Then suddenly, he would get a temp(Lara Flynn Boyle) to help him out. However, she has a agenda of her own. She would help wipe out the competition he has. I mean, LITERALLY. One has an allergic reaction to bee stings. Another would be found hanged by the executive late one night. Not only is the temp very proficient, she was also very manipulative. She would even take out the boss as well. They would say that is a dog eat dog world, this movie is kind of reminder that the real world is unkind. The cast of the movie is great. Tom Holland did very well on what he did. I find this movie very interesting and very entertaining. Recommended for the hard at work. 4 out of 5 stars

xredgarnetx THE TEMP is one of those glossy 90s office thrillers that you can watch with one eye closed, walk away from it for a few minutes, come back to it and not miss a thing. Michael Douglas made one of these as well, 1994's DISCLOSURE. Lara Flynn Boyle, the main reason for watching this, plays a nutjob temp who fills in for corporate exec Tim Hutton's regular secretary. Pretty soon, his in-office competitors and acquaintances are dropping like flies, and the very existence of the company is threatened -- all thanks to the evil machinations of the delectable and obsessed Ms. Boyle, who is lots of fun to watch as she slithers about and whispers dire warnings in her boss' ear. Hutton perhaps plays his part a little too straight, but old-timer Faye Dunaway as the beleaguered company head tears up the scenery in every one of her too-few scenes. Dunaway at least knows when she's working a turkey jerky. Try watching Boyle and not think of her in WAYNE'S WORLD, by the way. She played a similar nutjob in that comedy classic.

brandonsites1981 Delightfully nasty film about a temporary office assistant (Lara Flynn Boyle) who makes life for her new boss (Timothy Hutton) a living hell through her perfect organizational skills, a cold icey manner, and the fact that she is raising up the cooperate latter faster then him. Oh, also all of his friends are turning up dead and he suspects her of all the killings. Lara Flynn Boyle's trim body and slick cool look make her a perfect choice for her role. She perfectly captures upper class stuffiness while hiding her true emotions behind her icey interior. However, as the film moves on it just gets sillier and sillier.Rated R; Violence and Profanity.

melissa.ricks I really enjoyed this movie and the possible plot twists, but they don't really happen. And the wrap it up quick ending was more than irritating.However, I was glued to the screen.... I enjoyed Tim Hutton's performance. Boyle was superb as the ambitious, ruthless fem fatale. But when did Faye Dunaway become a caricature of herself? I guess ever since Mommy Dearest. I rate the movie a 4 out of 10. It was a 6 until the ending. But it does have the qualities of a Cult Classic. I'll be interested to see how it ages. The writing won't improve with age, but the camp might.
