Customer Reviews: Great movie November 17, 2009 KS DEED (DALKEITH, Midlothian United Kingdom) I can't remember this being at the cinema. This is a brilliant movie from start to finish. I got it as I am a great fan of BK, but I am delighted that I bought it as it is such a good film. With TV starting to get boring for Xmas looming, a good DVD selection is a must. He does,nt regret killing them, he regrets killing them badly . July 19, 2008 russell clarke (halifax, west yorks) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful You Kill Me is a curious little movie. A noir/ gangster/ black comedy hybrid that skilfully integrates all these incongruous elements into a subtly pleasing whole. It may not be funny enough for those wanting copious belly laughs, it may not be viscerally exciting enough for aficionado's of the gangster genre and i doubt it's brackish or labyrinthine enough to cut it as classic noir . Despite this i rather enjoyed this tale of a hit man whose personal demons impinge on his work. It has quality performances from a solid cast and keeps you on your toes enough to maintain interest. br /Frank (Ben Kingsley) is a hit man working for the Polish mob in Buffalo. He is also an alcoholic. We first see him downing bottles of vodka before a hit .Unfortunately while staking out the proposed victim -rival Irish mob boss (Dennis Farina) -he falls into a sozzled slumber and misses his chance. Knowing they can no longer rely on him his bosses send him to San Francisco to dry out and get his act together. br /Once there he is overseen by officious real estate agent (Bill Pullman) who insists he join the local AA and gets him a job in a morticians dressing up corpses ready for burial. At the AA meetings he meets laconic fellow alcoholic Tom(Luke Wilson) and through his new job he meets Laurel (Tea Leoni) whose father has recently deceased. They form an unlikely bond , especially unlikely since he , deciding that honesty is the best policy tells her about his real job. But events back in Buffalo mean he will have to give up his new life and friends and return to sort things out once and for all. br /Director John Dahl cleverly holds this slight and ,frankly implausible, plot together dexterously helped by writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely who add lots of dry dark banter between the characters. The final scenes are truly ridiculous and no matter how darkly mysterious Frank is it's hard to believe that a woman like Laurel would fall for him. It,s also hard to see this film rewarding repeat viewings. Yet for all this You Kill Me is a slyly amusing tale of a man on the wrong path in life being offered redemption and grabbing it with both hands...only it's not that straightforward .Now that is just like real life. br / br /
