May I Kill U?

"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.

I found this film to be quite a surprise in that I found it somewhat hard to identify the genre: I concluded that this was mainly due to it following a number of strands that combined comedy, horror and notion of drama that together provided a caricature of London's finest that may shock but will also certainly attract. It was a most original concept that was well written, well directed and well made. The lead character's strange tastes were matched by the strange relationship he 'enjoyed' with his with his mother. His notion of service in which he pursues his own agenda was quite hilarious. Suffice to say this appeared to be driven by a rather overwhelming personality disorder that verged on the psychotic. It was certainly off-beat but also highly entertaining, sometimes shocking and came with the raw-edge grittiness that British films often excel at. In fact it is fair to say that this is an example of Indie Cinema at its best and I would certainly recommend it.

Really enjoyed the style and quirkiness. Keep up the good work.....

Very often with these kind of films, you get a great concept with a not so great execution, but this is an exception.

The use of what I imagined to be footage from the 2011 London riots was cleverly interwoven into the film to portray a London of petty crooks and bored coppers. The interesting twist by use of the flipped roles of 'Baz' the bicycle cop and a tattooed and lazily-bearded offender, in what seems to be an interview room, provides a dramatic and humorous opening as the events that led up to the moment unwind before us.

With his poisonous, ciggy-puffing mother judging his every move and decision, we have the fascinating contrast of Baz' comic work life, in which I felt very comfortable viewing, and his home, which was cleverly filmed to highlight Baz' discomfort and feeling of sickness at his mother's presence and attitude, which resounds in the audience.

With appropriate twists and turns throughout, this is one of those films that guarantees a laugh and an interesting pry into the lives of those who seem to be totally normal people.

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.
