    How do you measure the success of a comedic film? Hilarity is such a subjective quality that it differs entirely from person to person.

  • Kill List

    Do hit-men deserve a stab at a definition of morality? Kill List sort of cares about the answer to that question, but ends up forgetting about it in favour of pure, unadulterated entertainment. Brilliantly paced, cannily-structured, gloriously witty and absolutely terrifying, Kill List will take you on an unbelievable journey – just don’t bother hoping it will slow down enough to let you make sense of it.
