You Kill Me (2007)

Review Summary

There isn’t a lot of gray in “You Kill Me,” colorwise or otherwise. The hot whites and jet blacks suggest that the director John Dahl, whose credits include the 1990s noirs “Red Rock West” and “The Last Seduction,” would have been happy to drain all the color out of this picture. As it is, the chromatically reduced palette nicely echoes the stark inner and outer worlds of Ben Kingsley’s character, Frank Falenczyk, an alcoholic hit man on an uninterrupted bender. For Frank, that chilling vodka bottle isn’t just a morning pick-me-up; it’s also a way of life, his closest companion and, increasingly, a grave liability. Lost in a boozy blur, he doesn’t shoot to kill; he sleeps all the way through a job. What follows is straight-up ridiculous, but it’s also consistently funny and nicely played by a well-complemented cast that finds its collective groove and never misses a beat.
