A sweet black comedy about a professional killer from Buffalo whose gangster uncle makes him join Alcoholics Anonymous in San Francisco, falls in love with a down to earth saleswoman and cleans up his act so he can be a neater killer. Full Review |

2/5 |
Kingsley seems to be sleepwalking through the entire movie, in a faux-understated performance Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Domesticating the mobster within society has become almost a commonplace, thanks to The Sopranos, but Kingsley's tight-lipped gruffness gives a lift to the mordant ironies of the script. Full Review |

|
Ben Kingsley brings a batty, basilisk wit to You Kill Me, a black comedy about a dipsomaniacal hitman. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
Kingsley shows a surprising talent for deadpan comic delivery. Full Review |
||
|
4/5 |
A great cast and a great script make this a surprising recommendation as a first date movie. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
A fitfully amusing black comedy about an alcoholic assassin, its well-drawn characters drown in a generic gangster plot and a painfully low budget. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
An uneven black comedy-thriller that’s nonetheless worth catching for Téa Leoni’s bracingly sharp performance and the inspired idea of putting hitman Ben Kingsley into AA. Just focus on the well-etched characters and don’t worry too much about the plot. Full Review |

|
4/5 |
The opening six-minute shot of dawn breaking over a rural landscape is worth the price of admission alone. Stunning. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
All dilutions aside, director Dahl mixes a dash of Six Feet Under with shots of Mr & Mrs Smith and Grosse Point Blank to put the kick into an enjoyably spiky little cocktail. Full Review |
||
|
2/5 |
Despite some good performances, You Kill Me misses the target. Full Review |
||
|
|
A badly written hash of a film, which will struggle to please even the most devout Sir Ben fans. Full Review |
||
|
3/5 |
The film isn't without its flaws, but in defying Hollywood convention, it manages to reach parts other comedies cannot reach. Full Review |
||
|
7/10 |
Not a masterpiece, mind you, nor the funniest thing you could see on a lazy summer afternoon; but a fine motion picture. Full Review |
||
|
3/4 |
Surely there aren't many emotionally fragile mobster stories left in the Hollywood arsenal. But at least Kill is a pretty good shot with the laughs. Full Review |
