Steven Yeun
“MAYHEM” My rating: C+ (Opens Nov. 10 at the Screenland Tapcade)
86 minutes | No MPAA rating
Joe Lynch’s “Mayhem” more than lives up to its name.
This giddy celebration of pointless violence finds Steven Yeun, late of cable’s “The Walking Dead,” playing attorney Derek Cho, an employee of a take-no-prisoners law firm that represents the worst in contemporary American culture and capitalism.
Framed by a fellow attorney for a major screwup on a big case, a defeated Derek is cleaning out his office when police surround the firm’s high-rise and inform those inside that a particularly malevolent virus has been detected on the premises.
Known as ID-7, this nasty bug causes the infected to lose all the inhibitions that normally keep us from sexually assaulting and or mercilessly beating our fellow men.
An anti-virus has been released into the building’s air conditioning, but it will take eight hours to kick in. Until then the place is under strict quarantine.
