It’s late one Sunday night, but two women are still working at the office of Claudine de Martineau International, a fashion conglomerate. Both women depart at the same time, and both get on the elevator at the 30th floor simultaneously.
By the time the elevator car reaches the lobby, one woman is dead. What happened in the course of 30 floors? Was it murder or suicide?
The ensuing investigation will leave no stone unturned. There’s not much more to say without giving anything away, so I’ll just say that The Cage is a thriller full of ups and downs. There are places where it really worked and places it dragged, and there are portions where the legalese used was so intense I couldn’t follow a thing. (This is kind of like the detailed science in The Martian and Project Hail Mary, but I didn't feel you could quite skim over this.)
I thought this was a really unique and fascinating story, with a bit of a feel like The Firm. I think without the technical stuff—even though I understand it was included to make the story more realistic—it might’ve been even more intense. Still, others have loved this, and I'm not a huge thriller fan, so you make the call!
