The movie is odd but Lenny Henry is great in his film debut., 7 April 1999
3/10
Author: D.B. Dickerson (dormanbenton@hotmail.com) from Detroit, Michigan

I had a tough time getting this movie and when I saw it I thought is was pretty bad. I do like independent films but there is one that comes along that is going to be pretty bad and that is this one. I am a very big fan of Lenny Henry (in fact I run a large site devoted to him) and that is why I wanted to see him in this Drama film. I had only seen the funny side of Lenny until this film and I have to say that no matter what Lenny Henry is one of the best actors around. Lenny Henry did a movie after this one in 1991 for Disney (Touchstone Pictures) called True Identity and because of that he lost his chance to be in America. He signed a three movie contract and was kicked out only after the first movie (True Identity) because of the profits that it had made. So that is the story of why such a great comedian/actor is not here in America.

For some good news about Lenny and it is that he is getting to be a known face (name has to be worked on) because of his role on the very well done BBC sitcom Chef!. For an overall view on the movie "The Suicide Club" I would say don't waste your time unless you are a Lenny Henry fan and are interested to see him play an off the wall dramatic role.
