About the Movie:
Director John Dahl made his reputation with the hard-boiled, film-noir, one-two punch of RED ROCK WEST and THE LAST SEDUCTION. With YOU KILL ME, he takes characters that could have come from that genre but delightfully plunges them into a romantic comedy. The result is a quietly outrageous film that works on many levels.
Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley) loves his job as the hit-man for his Polish mob family in Buffalo. But Frank's got a drinking problem and when he messes up a critical assignment, his uncle (Philip Baker Hall) sends him to San Francisco to clean up his act. Out on the Left Coast, Frank attends AA meetings and gets a job at a mortuary, where he falls for the tart-tongued Laurel (Tea Leoni), who is devoid of boundaries and clearly not mourning her stepdad's sudden passing. Meanwhile, things get worse in Buffalo, where an upstart Irish gang threatens the family business. When violence erupts, Frank is forced to return home, and Laurel follows him.
Kingsley unleashes the full range of weapons in his acting arsenal, showing deadly accuracy with all of them. Both steely cold and hilariously deadpan, he is the perfect choice for this shape-shifting genre hybrid that successfully commingles 12-step therapy, romantic comedy and hit-man thriller. YOU KILL ME is a street-smart mob comedy that scores a direct hit.
