Shut Up and Shoot Me



shut up and shoot me
Shut up and shoot me was a delightful suprise. It was darkly funny. I found myself liking the assassin and the husband.

Surprise
It's an unusual little film. Set in Prague. It captures the gray bleakness of Prague in the winter rather well. The story moves along at a decent pace, it's somewhat intriguing. It's actually pretty unpredictable up until the last 15 to 20 minutes. I don't want to spoil any enjoyment you might get from watching this film.

Briefly, a young British couple is on the holiday of a lifetime in Prague. He is a very honest, worried, detail-meister, well....British male, worrying if he turned off the iron before they left for their 10 day vacation. She is a beautiful loving woman that tells him to not worry. She ends up instantly killed in a freak accident. He feels lost and without hope to live anymore. The hotel inexplicably hires a driver to take him to the morgue. Our hero husband decides to pay the driver to kill him. The story then takes us through the attempts.

The point at which the film somewhat jumps the shark for me is in the last 15 or 20 minutes. We end up...

Shut Up & See This Film
I saw this almost a year ago on VOD, COMCAST cable was showing it. It was a remarkable funny film about a Young Man losing himself after his wife died from a accident in Rome as I recall.

It is very entertaining and I am looking forward to seeing this film coming out on DVD. I give it all stars for both originality and entertaining.

Bravo!
