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 that week, William unexpectedly finds a reason to live once again, but that doesn’t stop Leslie who is under pressure from his boss (Eccleston) to carry out the hit…

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.
