Nat Wolff, Brittany O’Grady and Aimee Carrero are also in the cast.

When a new consultant, played by Waltz, is hired to improve business at the gaming company CompWare, employees experience new demands and challenges that put everything into question, including their lives.

From Austria, Waltz’s film work includes The Inglourious Basterds, The Green Hornet and Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. ■
