Film about Polish Mob Hitman

The Film "You Kill Me" will be released in a theater near you just in time for the time honored Polish tradition of Sobotka I think it is a coincidence - Hollywood marketing departments aren't all that smart. [About Sobotka]

Pre-screening by Variety says the film keeps the viewer agreeably off-kilter, John Dahl's latest walk on the wild side gets serious comedic mileage from playing noirish (Czarni) absurdities deadpan-straight. This film should appeal to those who like their humor (and love stories) quietly outrageous.

Ben Kingsley plays Frank Falenczyk, a hitman for his extended Polish family in Buffalo, N.Y., where they control the all-important snowplow franchise. He is also a full-time alcoholic, which increasingly wreaks havoc on his work. After botching a job Uncle Roman sends him to San Francisco to sober up -- or else. He attends AA meetings, gets a gay sponsor and lands a job in a mortuary, where he meets a woman who is a relative of one his hits.

Internet movie trailer not available yet.

  1. I can't quite decide, tragedy or comedy; maybe there needs to be a trailer... ;-)
