Swimming with Sharks was an earlier work of Spacey and perhaps one of his better efforts in acting. Many of his other roles are rather sedate and reserved such as KPAX or Se7en, but this one is more like his role in the Negotiator. The mark of a good actor is his ability to competently act in any genre of film and Spacey has this ability. The rest of the cast was also very good in their roles making the film good for viewers. The film is about cut-throat movie producer Buddy Ackerman (Spacey) who brutally indoctrinates his assistant Guy (Whaley) into the world of film making. Most everyone really wants to see someone put the tyrant Ackerman in his place. Guy can only take so much though. By the time the film ends, the viewer is thankful but surprised.
