This compared favorably to The Matador in my opinion.  

If you liked The Matador you will like this.  If you haven't seen The Matador then go watch The Matador and then you will know if you will like You Kill Me or not.

Just kidding, but no seriously.  Go watch The Matador.

No.  Don't.

Or do.

Whatever.

Fuck you, nobody puts baby in a corner!

I painted this.  

No I didn't.

El Lohse did.

Congrats to him or her, you are now famous for being on my blog!

...Ahem...sorry about that. 

It's about a burned out hitman who is struggling to mix with common society.  He kills for a living, but it makes him drink, and the drinking is now affecting his job as a killer, so it's former a nasty circle of despair.

I really enjoyed this movie, despite the fact that I think Tea Leone is a hack actress who sucks the believability out of every damn movie she is cast in. 

If you like gangster flicks and/or films like The Rum Diaries and Grosse Pointer Blank you will probably like this as well.

4/5 STARS
