Charades (also known as Felons or First Degree) is a 1998 mystery drama film directed by Stephen Eckelberry.

Barry (Jack Scalia) works at the shipping department of a high-tech company called Technoworks.

Other strange things happen: the next door neighbor (James Russo) screams racial slurs over the fence, and the widow of the ex-owner of Technoworks arrives.

As a result, we learn of a kidnapping scheme gone awry, a fight ensues, and the pieces of the puzzle start to come together to reveal who kidnapped and killed the former Technoworks boss, and why Barry was invited to the party.

VideoHound's Golden Movie Retriever gave the film a 2-star rating,[1] as did Robert Pardi of TV Guide, who described the screenplay as "Neil LaBute-for-beginners".
