Ben Kingsley is a perfect ice cold hit man with personal problems. He is stone faced through most of the movie. It is Kingsley's voice that gives the character's emotions distinction. He kind of wrings his hands with the treble of this voice and the patterns of his speech. His interactions with the funeral home owner, Brenda (Lorraine James) are classic.

Luke Wilson, who plays Frank's sponsor, is the biggest surprise in the movie. He lets go of previous roles and steps into a more subtle character. Wilson not only does funny but he does subdued too!

I was fond of Bill Pullman in this movie. He kind of plays both the devil and the angel on Frank's shoulder. I don't think even Dave knows if he is good or bad.

If the film maker and writers of a movie were to draw a line in the sand dictating the border between humorous harmony and monstrous madness, Tea Leoni would jump back and forth between them. So often in You Kill Me Leoni makes you laugh. Just as often, though, she makes you want to ring her neck. The most frustrating thing about it is that it is almost fantastic when she botches a scene. It is like the man who dies just before the finish line at a marathon.

Dennis Farina, who plays rival mob boss Edward O'Leary, is dead to me.

You Kill Me is the most original premise for a movie I have seen in years. It answers a lot of the questions I personally toil with when it comes to hit men. Oh yeah, it is pretty damn funny!
