A married Hollywood agent receives a mysterious letter for an anonymous sexual encounter and becomes ensnared in a sinister world of lying, murder and infidelity.The Beta Test 2021 full Movie Download,
It takes prodigious comic gifts to make a loathsome, pathetic character so mesmerizing that you enjoy watching him dig himself into a hole for 90-plus minutes. Jim Cummings, the star, editor, co-writer, and co-director of “The Beta Test,” has those gifts.Cummings plays Jordan, a remorseless, manipulative Hollywood agent working for a CAA-like behemoth who gets ensnared in a conspiracy in the months leading up to his scheduled wedding to his fiancee Caroline (Virginia Newcomb). His troubles start when he accepts an engraved invitation to cheat. This is not a metaphor: the invitation is elegantly inscribed and printed on purple card stock and sealed in a purple envelope. Jordan is instructed to arrive in a certain hotel room on a certain day at a certain time if he wants to experience a no-strings-attached tryst with a woman. Both partners will stay masked and anonymous.The Beta Test 2021 full Movie Download.
Jordan goes. He has a great time. The masks are also purple, of course. Then Jordan’s euphoria fades and is replaced by paranoia. He was plenty paranoid even before he stepped out on Caroline, so this is bad. Very bad. Jordan is secretly a highly functioning alcoholic (though he wouldn’t describe himself that way). He takes a lot of personal and professional risks, most of them superficial, greedy, or nihilistic. He seems incapable of controlling his temper, blurting out insults whenever he’s dealing with anyone who has something he wants but isn’t obligated to give it up.As Jordan plunges deeper into the mystery of who sent the invitation and what they meant to gain by it—at various points impersonating a police officer and a private detective, and threatening to sue people he just met—”The Beta Test” starts to feel like the unholy love child of “Eyes Wide Shut” and “Office Space.” If my family’s life depended on it, I couldn’t tell you what this movie is narratively “about.”
