This jet-black comedy from first-time writer/director Tom Edmunds really grabbed me when Tom Wilkinson’s character, a member of the fictional (I hope!) Many a film uses fake Latin to fill up a page we barely notice; this one actually includes the real thing! Wilkinson’s character, Leslie O’Neil, has been hired by one William Morrison (Aneurin Barnard, looking appropriately sallow). William wants to kill himself but can’t quite make it happen. It’s also a particularly meaty role for Wilkinson, who’s played villains before but never one quite so grounded as this one.
