Even assassins have to hit their targets
Ageing hit man Leslie (Tom Wilkinson, The Full Monty) is a one-man euthanasia clinic with a good heart but a shaky hand. His new boss at The Guild of Assassins is all about quotas and Leslie's been reduced to searching suicide hotspots for potential clients to help him meet targets. It's a chance encounter on a bridge where Leslie meets William, a 27 year-old man on his seventh unsuccessful suicide attempt. William sees an opportunity to outsource his death to Leslie but with the contract signed and death assured within a week (or his money back) William finally discovers a reason to live.
Critic Reviews:
- “It's only Tom Wilkinson's typically expert performance that saves Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back) from having to live up to its subtitled bargain with moviegoers” – Hollywood Reporter
- “Soulful and hilarious, with an empathy for its characters that far exceeds the usual dark comedy fare. Highly recommended” – HeyUGuys
- “It all comes together in a very easy going cinematic experience that will mildly please even the most demanding movie-goer” – Birth.Movies.Death.
