Not Safe For Work is a 2014 suspense film, starring Max Minghella as Nice Guy Tom, a paralegal who finds himself trapped at the office after-hours with a Professional Killer (JJ Feild) on a mission, willing to kill anyone who stands in his way. Tom has to find a way to rescue his coworkers and escape, but the office's security features prevent easy exit from the office.
Not Safe For Work provides examples of:
- Amoral Attorney: Emmerich and Tom's boss.
- Badass in a Nice Suit: The Killer is impeccably dressed, which is part of what makes his cover story as being with building maintenance so shaky.
- Bad Liar: The Killer's excuse to Janine that he is a contractor with building maintenance.
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: Tom finds a way out in a couple of occasions, but discovering the Killer is near someone he likes (such as Janine), and this they will become collateral damage, means he has to go back and try to save them.
- Crusading Lawyer: What Tom aspires to be - though he's a paralegal, not a lawyer.
- "Die Hard" on an X: For most of the film there are only two players (Tom and the Killer), but the rules remain the same: a deadly game of cat and mouse within a Closed Circle (a law firm office this time), with the villain having the advantage of carrying a firearm and no scruples about committing murder.
- Implacable Man: The Killer has shades of this - when he's locked out by the key card system, he matter-of-factly turns and finds a fire axe to chop down the door and continue chasing Tom.
- Nice Guy: Tom suggests adding heart attack victims to a lawsuit being brought by stroke victims, and is shot down by his boss because the first group will not be profitable enough for the firm. He also insists on trying to rescue Emmerich from the killer rather than escaping with Roger.
