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.

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.
Interesting, but messy.

- Maurice: Paul, it is your destiny to eat me. You could start with my ear.
- Paul: I don't want to eat you. Not your ear, or your penis or any other part of you.
-
- Paul: Isn't it a sin to commit suicide if you're a Catholic?
- Tommy: Isn't it a sin to run someone down with your train if you're a human being?
-
- Tommy: I want to swim with a great white shark, no cage, just me and the beast, eyeball to eyeball.
