Devilishly delicious and drop dead funny.

Where Dahl succeeds is in transforming two essentially tired characters into fully fleshed-out human beings who fall in love.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2008

A sweet black comedy about a professional killer from Buffalo whose gangster uncle makes him join Alcoholics Anonymous in San Francisco, falls in love with a down to earth saleswoman and cleans up his act so he can be a neater killer.

Kingsley seems to be sleepwalking through the entire movie, in a faux-understated performance

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 18, 2007

Domesticating the mobster within society has become almost a commonplace, thanks to The Sopranos, but Kingsley's tight-lipped gruffness gives a lift to the mordant ironies of the script.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

Ben Kingsley brings a batty, basilisk wit to You Kill Me, a black comedy about a dipsomaniacal hitman.

| Dec 7, 2007

Kingsley shows a surprising talent for deadpan comic delivery.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

A great cast and a great script make this a surprising recommendation as a first date movie.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 7, 2007

A fitfully amusing black comedy about an alcoholic assassin, its well-drawn characters drown in a generic gangster plot and a painfully low budget.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

An uneven black comedy-thriller that's nonetheless worth catching for Téa Leoni's bracingly sharp performance and the inspired idea of putting hitman Ben Kingsley into AA. Just focus on the well-etched characters and don't worry too much about the plot.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

The opening six-minute shot of dawn breaking over a rural landscape is worth the price of admission alone. Stunning.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 7, 2007

All dilutions aside, director Dahl mixes a dash of Six Feet Under with shots of Mr & Mrs Smith and Grosse Point Blank to put the kick into an enjoyably spiky little cocktail.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 7, 2007

Despite some good performances, You Kill Me misses the target.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 7, 2007

A badly written hash of a film, which will struggle to please even the most devout Sir Ben fans.

| Dec 7, 2007

The film isn't without its flaws, but in defying Hollywood convention, it manages to reach parts other comedies cannot reach.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 4, 2007

Not a masterpiece, mind you, nor the funniest thing you could see on a lazy summer afternoon; but a fine motion picture.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 12, 2007

Surely there aren't many emotionally fragile mobster stories left in the Hollywood arsenal. But at least Kill is a pretty good shot with the laughs.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 1, 2007

Slays me over its colorful amusing characters even if its story underwhelms me.

| Original Score: B- | Aug 19, 2007
