Found this one on streaming Netflix.
Leslie Bibb is Sarah Jane McKinney, rising young executive who gets her first promotion, only to find that someone transferred in to snatch it away from her. That person is Brandon Routh (Superman) as Milo Beeber. But he graciously lets Sarah Jane stay on as his secretary.
As the tagline says, she innocently kills her boss, Beeber, but that leads to a large number of subsequent complications.
I rather enjoyed watching it as a quirky dark comedy, nothing is taken too seriously. Bibb is pretty good in the lead role. However near the end, as things are wrapping up there is a lot of voice-over, explaining quite a number of things. This is always a sign that the story hasn't quite been put together well, and you can't leave viewers confused.Then the ending wasn't very imaginative.
I enjoyed Adam Goldberg as detective Bill Malloy, who gets assigned to investigate the deaths, but also gets sweet on Sarah Jane. Always good in quirky parts, Kathy Baker is Sarah Jane's kookie mother Claire McKinney. Missi Pyle is co-worker Charmaine. Vivica A. Fox is Sarah Jane's boss, Nan Wilder.
SPOILERS: In this particular business everyone seems to be untrustworthy. The "murders" begin when Beeber has Sarah Jane go to his house for work, but ends up chasing her up a library type ladder, she pushes him, he falls backwards and is impaled, dead, by an umbrella. As the story goes on she must cover her tracks, so keeps murdering other co-workers. When it finally seemed that all her tracks were covered, and she now had the big job and the corner office, she falls victim to her own booby trapped water bottle, inadvertently drinking a lethal mixture of medications, and dies also. Karma.
