Hit man Frank Falenczyk of Buffalo, NY, has a problem. It took him seven bullets to finish off one contract. With another, a woman this time, he intended to slit her throat but missed and slit her eye. He was so drunk he couldn’t do his job. Frank is an alcoholic.

You might think that a movie about an alcoholic hit man finding love in San Francisco would be more than a ridiculous, but Ben Kingsley and Tea Leoni find a way to inject just enough believability into an unbelievable premise to make You Kill Me an excellent black comedy. Kingsley's Frank (the go to hit man for a Polish crime family in Buffalo) is every bit as menacing as the thug he played in Sexy Beast. But Frank is more human, way, way more human!
