How many blind swordsmen does it take to cut down an entire cornfield full of benchmen? Only Rutger Hauer knows for sure.

Also, he's blind?!

1995’s Tommy Boy is a nuanced and foreboding examination of the dying auto industry and the corresponding communities who depend on it, set against the challenges created by nepotism in a capitalist society and a sprinkle of managing adults with diminished capacity in the workplace.
