SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley) loves his job. He just happens
to be the hit-man for his Polish mob family in Buffalo, New
York. But Frank’s got a drinking problem and when he
messes up a critical assignment that puts the family business
in peril, his uncle (Philip Baker Hall) sends him to San Francisco
to clean up his act.
Played with gruff charm by Kingsley, Frank is not a touchy-feely
kind of guy. But he starts going to AA meetings, gets a sponsor
(played by Luke Wilson) and a job at a mortuary where he falls
for the tart-tongued Laurel (Tea Leoni), a woman who is dangerously
devoid of boundaries. Meanwhile, things aren’t going
well in Buffalo where an upstart Irish gang is threatening
the family business. When violence erupts, Frank is forced
to return home and with an unlikely assist from Laurel, faces
old rivals on new terms.
Stylishly directed by John Dahl (Rounders, The Last Seduction),
You Kill Me is the story of what happens when two mismatched
people find a common calling. With dead-on performances by
Kingsley and Leoni, You Kill Me is a street-smart mob comedy
that scores a direct hit.
