Telemarketers' plan to go on strike is the setting for a satire on African-American stereotypes, almost to a fault, as it elaborates on stereotypes I wasn't even aware of. But as soon as you think you've seen this all before ... the story suddenly flips on its head, the genre switches, and the entire event becomes very reminiscent of two groundbreaking movies from 2013 and 2017 (I'll avoid spoiling which two, and which genre). Characters fall into of a vicious cycle of simultaneously rebelling against and feeding the system, and one word comes to mind: "dystopia". Surprise yourself.
