You Kill Me by the DVD Man

You Kill Me stars Sir Ben Kingsley as an alcoholic Hit Man, names Frank Falenczyk from Buffalo NY, who comes out to San Francisco to dry out and clean up his act. They filmed a lot on location in San Francisco, so that's fun to look for places you recognize.

This is another movie that I hadn't really heard of that was amazingly good. It's directed by John Dahl, who directed one of my all time favorites, Red Rock West. Dahl likes to do dark comedy and this qualifies, big time.

It's got an excellent cast with Tea Leoni, Luke Wilson, Bill Pullman, Dennis Farina and Phillip Baker Hall. It must have been a low budget movie to get all that talent and I guess zero marketing budget.

Frank goes to an AA meeting and since it's anonymous, he just explains about all his problems with drinking and not being very good at his job of killing people. He works part time in a mortuary and that's where he meets Tia Leoni and they end up with a killer romance, literally.

I highly recomend this movie and with the main character named Frank, how can you go wrong?
