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.
