WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

After his ninth unsuccessful suicide attempt, William (Barnard) recruits aging professional hitman Leslie (Wilkinson) to kill him within a week, or his money back.

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Suicide is almost never funny, but in the case of Tom Edmunds’ pitch-black directorial debut, it might just be the cause of a good few laughs.
