Movie Info

Death gives two men a new lease on life in this dark comedy from the UK. Paul Callow (Mackenzie Crook) makes his living driving a subway train in London, though he'd like nothing more than to be able to quit his job, move to Scotland and devote his time to writing a novel. Paul isn't an especially cheerful guy under the best of circumstances, but he's been on edge since two people slipped off a platform and fell onto the tracks before he could stop his train. A fellow driver tells Paul that the

Too gauche, too derivative and merely sporadically amusing.

There's no light at the end of the tunnel in this misguided romp whose solitary redeeming feature is its quality cast.

Rare winning moments aside, Three and Out is unconvincing, uneven and unfunny: a severe points failure.

Ostensibly a black comedy, this Brit road movie engages most in its more reflective moments, focusing on characters' feelings of guilt, anger, sadness and regret.

Audience Reviews for Three and Out

Decent comedy drama with Mackenzie Crook as a man who, already bored with his job as a London tube driver, becomes even more depressed when two people throw themselves under his train in as many weeks. But later our man finds out if he hits three people iin a month he gets early retirement and 10 years salary. Spurred on by this he attempts to find a third victim/accident so he can finish his job, claim the ten years salary and move to his dream house, in the middle of nowhere in Scotland, and get on with his dream job as a writer. This is a well written, effective comedy drama with good performances from Crook, Colm Meaney, Imelda Staunton and the lovely Gemman Arterton.

Three and Out really isn't a comedy, even a dark one, but I found it an interesting and well acted film, none-the -less.

    2. Paul: I don't want to eat you. Not your ear, or your penis or any other part of you.

    2. Tommy: Isn't it a sin to run someone down with your train if you're a human being?
