 Tagline: Love is always worth another shot.
A hit-man has made some terrible mistakes and his mob needs to get him back on track.
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 (Téa 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.
