Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Paul is a London tube driver with dreams of a cottage in a bee-loud glade. He's told that if his train strikes and kills one more person this month, he'll get a large severance, enough for the cottage. So he offers £1500 to Tommy Cassidy, a down-and-out Irishman, if Tommy will walk in front of Paul's train come Monday. He gives Tommy the cash on Friday. Wanting to ensure that Tommy honors the deal, Paul accompanies a cleaned-up Tommy on his trip (in a new suit and a hired car) to make things right with family he hasn't seen in eight years. Can Tommy, an inveterate gambler, make anything come out right? And what about Paul - can this suicide pact fulfill his dreams?

Did You Know?
| Trivia | Gemma Arterton's first nude scene. "I've done many films I'm not happy with but there's only one I really regret doing," she said in a 2015 interview. "I was very young, and the director exploited me in a sex scene. It was totally inappropriate - and I remember my boyfriend at the time saying the same thing. It was put into the middle of a comedy which totally didn't warrant it and I was too young to stand up for myself." See more » |
| Goofs | In the scene in Paul's apartment after he and Tommy have come back from the Lake District, you can clearly see a camera man in the mirror. See more » |
