Movie: Dead in a Week, or Your Money Back

[Keralin]

I watched a movie on Netflix a few days ago, "Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back)". I was pleasantly surprised by how twisted and wonderful it was. I'm a huge fan of dark comedy (gee, I wonder why?) and this flick stands firmly within that category. The film critics don't like it, but their opinions don't count.

Official synopsis (since I'm too lazy to attempt an actual review): "After seven failed suicide attempts (10, if you count cries for help), young William decides to outsource the task to Leslie -- an aging assassin who's about to retire. When William has a sudden change of heart, Leslie is still determined to carry out the hit and honor the contract."

If you have Netflix (in the US) and 90 minutes to waste, give it a go and let me know what you think. If you've already watched it, what's your opinion of it?

Sounds interesting film but I'm afraid if may not be available on Netflix outside US? There is a movie I Hired a Contract Killer by Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki with similar plot line.
