Cassius Green (LaKeith Stanfield) needs money desperately so he joins a telemarketing company, only to discover that he has an innate skill at salesmanship. His rising success puts him at odds with the rest of the workers, who are trying to start a union, and with his girlfriend (Tessa Thompson), an artist and social activist. The new position opens doors for Cassius and his new client, WorryFree, a mega-corporation run by Steve Lift (Armie Hammer). He is content to bury his morals under a pile of cash until the true secret of WorryFree is revealed.
The twist in this is not remotely what I thought it was going to be. It's way more insane. The incredible cast of Stanfield and Thompson, Steven Yeun, Danny Glover, Terry Crews, and voice acting from David Cross and Patton Oswalt grounds it and keeps it a comedy and not a joke.
I remember this being very critically acclaimed when it came out and I am happy to say that it lives up to the hype. It's streaming on Kanopy right now but my library card expired so I watched it on LookMovie2.
