Plot

Ryan, a down-on-his-luck chef, flees from his gambling problems to a Latin American country to meet with Jack, his mate from the culinary school who now cooks for a shady entertainment company specialising in illegal dinner events with human flesh for high-end clientele. When Jack hangs himself, Ryan sees his suicide as an opportunity to escape from his own financial difficulties and takes Jack's place at the cooking table, after the company's killer "sources" a male local as "meat produce" for him to use when cooking an important meal for the clients of the company.

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 82% of 33 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.2/10.[3]

Tessa Smith wrote in her review for Popternative: "A can't miss, edge of your seat thriller, brilliantly led by Nick Stahl. It is predictable at times, but there are still quite a few twists, turns, and surprises -- and a perfect third act."[4]

Courtney Howard of Variety was less enthusiastic about the film: "The obvious Aesop’s Fables-inspired lessons make what could’ve been an extraordinary meal into something far less memorable."[5]
