brodlimmel You Kill Me is a movie about an hit-man that is a alcoholic and goes to rehab. That is a cool premise and when he is at AA the movie is funny seeing how Frank (Ben Kingsley) reacts to these people. Then a little later in the film they introduce Laurel (Tea Leoni)as Franks love interest and honestly that part of the film bored me to tears. They just didn't seem like they had any chemistry with one another.This is a dark comedy, a crime movie and a romance and really only the crime part was done right. The comedy works in a way cause I am a fan of dark comedies but this only has a few funny parts the fact he openly says I am a killer I kill people for money and how he has no intentions of stopping I chuckled at that but thats really it. The crime part of this does work this isn't a Goodfellas but if they focused more on the mob part of the film I feel like I would've been more entertained. Then the romance like I said that is the worst part I honestly couldn't care less and it seemed like they couldn't either.Overall this is a rental because it had more going for it but it missed on certain parts that made me just bored on what was happening.

BernardoLima You Kill Me stars Ben Kingsley as Frank Falenczyk, a hit man whose work for the Buffalo-based Mafia has been hampered by his hopeless alcoholism. He goes off to San Francisco where Alcoholics Anonymous awaits, as does Dave (Bill Pullman), who helps Frank get an apartment and a job in a mortuary. The job introduces Frank to Laurel (Téa Leoni), whom he begins a relationship with while occasionally falling off the wagon and attending AA meetings. Luke Wilson makes an appearance as a fellow alcoholic who mentors Frank through the program. You Kill Me is a smart and charming black comedy but there's really no reason to watch it other then the wonderful performance by Ben Kingsley. The script is not very strong and even thought the film has a few funny moments here and there, overall it's not nearly as funny as it should be. Plus, it has been done before. The film lacks originality. Sure it's entertaining and enjoyable but it's one of those films that you can very well miss. In conclusion, a decent watch mainly because of Ben Kingsley.6/10

nomerit Comedy? What's so funny about watching an ugly deadbeat alcoholic attending 6 sessions (by the time I turned it off) of alchoholics anonymous? Set off by a woeful script of grunts and mumbles and drunken slurrings. Served up with lashings of Hollywood's religious "God will Save you" redemption drivel Another Reviewer mentioned the "Sassy dialogue" of Tea Leone - well I managed to watch nearly an hour of this boring film and I still haven't seen any sassy yet - in fact my 80 year old grandmother has more amusing comebacks than Tea's character in this rubbish. Tea is more stony faced and shows less emotion than Keanu - in fact one wonders if she too isn't addicted to something - maybe botox her face is so wooden? Save yourself from being killed with boredom from this film.
