    This gun's for hire.
    Black humor is a genre difficult to handle ; this story of an unemployed guy who becomes a hired killer can be looked upon as a spoof on the "serious" thrillers;and ,thanks to a wonderful cast and hilarious lines in the grand tradition of Michel Audiard ,it brilliantly succeeds .

    The secondary characters are a superb gallery of weirdoes: half-wit Mulot (Thomas Mustin ) who teaches the trick of the trades to the new gas station man -the place where to smoke and the place where to steal beers -, good guy Tom (Gustave Kervern ) who wants to remain honest , hateful executive ,complete with suit and tie (Alex Lutz)

    Both principals (Duris and Blanc) make an enthusing pair,the latter recalling Bernard Blier in those spoofs of long ago ; there's a tendency to scatology and urine plays a prominent part in the story ,but it inspires excellent gags ,avoiding vulgarity: Duris's double revenge on Lutz's smug swagger (the winner who represents the careerist society he hates ); the old shotgun which was used as a toilet brush .

    Till the last picture ,one wonders whether the hitman will renege on his "oddjob" .After all ,he's at odds with the society.
