You Kill Me
Love Is Always Worth Another Shot…
Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley) loves his job. He just happens to be the hit-man for his Polish mob family in Buffalo, New York. But Frank's got a drinking problem and when he messes up a critical assignment that puts the family business in peril, his uncle sends him to San Francisco to clean up his act.
Frank is not a touchy-feely kind of guy, but he starts going to AA meetings, gets a sponsor (Luke Wilson) and a job at a mortuary where he falls for the tart-tongued Laurel (Tea Leoni), a woman who is dangerously devoid to boundaries. Meanwhile, things aren't going well in Buffalo where an upstart Irish gang is threatening the family business. When violence erupts, Frank is forced to return home and with an unlikely assist from Laurel, faces old rivals on new terms.
Critic Reviews:
- " Devilishly delicious and drop dead funny. " – Debbie Lynn Elias
- " Ben Kingsley brings a batty, basilisk wit to You Kill Me, a black comedy about a dipsomaniacal hitman. " – Nigel Andrews
- " A great cast and a great script make this a surprising recommendation as a first date movie. " – Jim Hall
