Die Aushilfe is a thriller by director Tom Holland , which was produced in 1993.

action

Peter Derns is a manager in a food factory. To relieve him, Kris Bolin is hired as an assistant, she does a good job.

Some of Peter’s competitors die in unexplained circumstances, which enables his quick promotions. Kris also wants to be closer to him privately. Peter discovers that Kris may have killed his rivals.

Remarks

The film ends with Peter turning Kris over to the police. It is more or less clear to the viewer that she is behind all the accidents, although she does not make a confession. The previous events are no longer discussed, much remains in the dark.

Reviews

James Berardinelli wrote on ReelViews that the thriller contained numerous implausibilities . Timothy Hutton is unconvincing; Lara Flynn Boyle and Maura Tierney performed well.

"What begins as an entertaining and pleasing economic history with a remarkable proximity to everyday life is increasingly fizzling out in scenes of violence and manslaughter."
