A great story about, brilliantly told, with a wonderful message about recovery woven through it. I can agree with some of the objections to the portrayal of recovery in this, however, it captures one view of the spirit and is an... Full review

The dark humor in this almost a mob story works very well. Those who are familiar with AA will either thoroughly enjoy this droll twist or else resent it deeply. Either way, recovering alcoholics should see it. Those who like it... Full review

Ben Kingsley rules in this farcical take on an alcoholic mobster from Buffalo's Polish crime family. If you know anything about 12 step programs in general or AA in particlular, you should NOT miss this one. Kingsley can slay you with... Full review

Ben Kingsley carried this movie with style and charm. Tea Leoni is funny, but seemed a little young and wholesome to be matched with Kingley here. Still the chemistry between them worked and the movie was quirky and entertaining.... Full review

This is a funny and satirical movie that skewers romantic comedys, A.A., the mob and a whole bunch of other stuff. I mean c'mon, a hitman that wants to get sober so he can be better at killing people? That's awesome.... Full review

Like most genre pictures, the very stylish You Kill Me wants it multiple ways, using clichés to undermine them.....As the film slips in and out of generic expectations-part romantic comedy, part mob thriller-Frank wonders about his place in the world.....It helps that he's embodied by Kingsley in his very intense, very intimidating, very bald mode..... ...

With strong lead performances and sure-footed direction, You Kill Me isn't terrible, it's just not nearly as smart or interesting as it should be or as it seems to think it is.
But as written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, You Kill Me just floats along the surface of its story.
