Plot |
An alcoholic hit man (Kingsley) is forced to leave his home in Buffalo for a new home in San Francisco to dry out. While working at a funeral home, he meets and falls for the step-daughter of one of the deceased. She helps him to get back to normal.
|
Pros |
Ben Kingsley and Téa Leoni are outstanding as always and there's enough dark humor in this film to satisfy everyone. |
Cons |
Even though this movie includes the mob and a hit man, there is very little action. I'm sure there are a lot of people that will consider this film boring. |
Extras |
- Commentary By Director John Dahl and Writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely
- Behind the Scenes Featurette
- Before and After Visual Effects Comparison
- Theatrical Trailer
|
Recommendation |
This is an entertaining film that doesn't take all night to watch. If you like dark humor, this is a must. If you're hunting for an action shootem up film, look elsewhere. |
