I loved this funny movie with a nice looking London copper who got up to all sorts. Really funny and original. Nice to see British movies still getting made like this. This is one of those films that you have to keep to watch again. It is nice to have a laugh and this was a film that did that for us. A bit close to the knuckle at times but is a way that British films are. A bit like seaside postcards - they have a way of poking fun at the establishment and being liked for doing it. So to tie this up it was great to watch. If you want entertainment then this should do you. His private life was weird. Hilarious though. Well made, well acted, well directed. I'm looking forward to more coming out like this.
Baz is a cycle cop. As riots break out in London suburbs, a freak accident causes him an head injury that changes him from an everyday police officer into a psychopath vigilante, offering serious or petty criminals alike a choice, arrest or death. Baz sees this campaign as 'lawful killing' in a justice campaign to save London. Criminals are usually too confused or drunk to argue when they are (politely) asked "May I kill you?". All these interactions are recorded by Baz using his helmet-camera and posted anonymously on-line, quickly transforming the vigilante in the newest Londoner justice crusader.
Quirky indie films about justince and the meaning of it, this is an original British black comedy with unespected twist and turns. Despite not recommended for everybody, this flick will give enjoyment to viewers looking for something different.

I'd like to be able to say something bad about this movie, but I can't. I tried hard to find something about it that irked me, something that bothered me about the acting or the direction, but I cannot think of one thing. In fact, I watched it a second time, just before writing this to see if there was anything that I didn't like. Alas, I could not.
A brilliant set up, rather tenuous contributor to the cause of the 'issue' but even that was well thought out. It could have been one of those robocop plot lines where a catastrophic incident plays into the derived condition, but even that left me thinking; it could be that simple.
The best part of this movie is the straight faced Kevin Bishop really making you feel you can relate to his initial frustrations. His personal life overlaps with his professional life and sets him spiraling into the dark world that is the home of the vigilante.
Of all the movies that I should have seen (or been aware of) at the time of release, this is currently top. As I said before, I can't fault the movie but I would fault the lack of marketing or buzz about it. It is one of those movies that should have been in the limelight immediately it was released but if it was, I certainly didn't hear about it.
Great movie, not recommended for anyone who doesn't like a sinister black thriller/comedy that leaves you with a grin and a "how could you follow that" impression.

"May I Kill U?" follows a bicycle cop, returning from a head injury, that remakes himself as a vigilante to cure his headaches.
Kevin Bishop's acting as Baz, the bicycle cop, drives the movie from beginning to end. Couple this with Stuart Urban's editing and well-shot narrative, you have a solid indie dark comedy with a twisted sense of humor. I found it neutral in politics, but with a sinister commentary on social media, crime, and society. Definitely worth checking out.

Riot of of movie that opens with a riot.
This was just a lot of fun. Good action. Pretty funny. Some really witty scene to scene cuts. Reminds me a bit of an Edgar Wright movie. Strong performances throughout.
