    Storyline

    Edit
    After another failed attempt to commit suicide, hapless writer William addresses the services of hired assassin Leslie, the inexorable angel of death from the Killers Guild, an organization that is ready to help anyone who needs a quick and painless death. Leslie has a good heart, but an unsteady hand. The authorities want to retire him, and the contract that has turned up is the only chance to postpone the inevitable. However, the case intervenes in the fortuity. The fate suddenly smiled to William: he falls in love. —Peter-Patrick76 (peter-patrick@mail.com)

    • Quotes

      Harvey: Whoever heard of an assassin with a shaky hand? You don't see Michael J. Fox running around shooting people, do ya? And why not? 'Cause he'd be fucking terrible at it. No, Michael J. Fox sticks to raising money for his charity, doesn't even do much acting anymore which is a shame 'cause I'm a big fan of Michael J. Fox. Back to the Future. Secret of My Success.

      Leslie: Stuart Little.

      Harvey: Why mention that? Why bring that up?

      Leslie: He's in it.

      Harvey: Only the voice, only the fucking voice. Now, if you'd said Doc Hollywood, I'd agree with ya.

      Leslie: Teen Wolf.

      Harvey: Teen Wolf, exactly, but he doesn't do films anymore 'cause he knows he's not up to it, do you see what I'm saying?

      Leslie: Not really.

    It was actually enjoyable ..
    On the trailer of the movie on youtube i saw some weird bad comments , so i was a bit hesitant ,, but the movie is not bad at all ,, it was really enjoyable ,, nice genuine plot ,, the comedy and humor were so followable.

    Tom Wilkinson did an amazing job and loved seeing Christopher Eccleston as for the Welshman Aneurin Barnard, this is the first time i'm seeing him on the big screen and he did an absolute perfect job presenting that dark comedy and blend it with his original face expressions.
