QUICK TAKE:
Horror: Following them barely surviving a horrific bridge collapse, various office workers must contend with Death apparently still wanting them dead.
PLOT:
Sam (NICHOLAS D'AGOSTO) works at a paper company for Peter (MILES FISHER) and their big boss, Dennis (DAVID KOECHNER), but really dreams of being a chef and thus also works at a local restaurant. His opportunity to take a culinary internship in Paris, however, has caused his coworker and girlfriend, Molly (EMMA BELL), to reconsider their relationship as they and others head off for a corporate retreat.

Others joining them include intern and college gymnast Candice (ELLEN WROE); sexy Olivia (JACQUELINE MacINNES WOOD) who can't see without her glasses; lecherous and self-centered Isaac (P.J. BYRNE); and plant foreman Nathan (ARLEN ESCARPETA) who must contend with mean union rep. Roy (BRENT STRAIT) back at the plant.

As they make their way toward the retreat, Sam has a vision of a horrific bridge collapse incident where everyone but Molly dies. When the real thing then seems to be starting, Sam gets Molly and runs for the end of the bridge, followed by his boss and various coworkers. As a result, they barely avoid dying in the calamity, an incident that rouses the interest of federal Agent Block (COURTNEY B. VANCE) who thinks it's suspicious that Sam knew it was going to happen in advance.

That incident is ruled a tragic accident and Sam is let go, but Block is back on the case when a number of Sam's fellow surviving coworkers die in gruesome accidents. But none of that comes as a surprise to the Coroner (TONY TODD) who claims that Death doesn't like to be cheated and thus is coming back after those who were supposed to die. From that point on, and as the workers die in the order they did in Sam's initial vision, he and the others try to avoid anything that might lead to their demise.

WILL KIDS WANT TO SEE IT?
If they're fans of any of the first four "Final Destination" films, it's a good bet they will.
WHY THE MPAA RATED IT: R
For strong violent/gruesome accidents, and some language.
