May I Kill U?

I really enjoyed the preview of "May I Kill U?", written and directed by Stuart Urban. A highly original, modern, and very funny, black comedy; it had a packed-out theatre at the NFT laughing guiltily throughout. No pretentious or linear storyline here: it's a complex plot, delivered in sequential layers and exquisitely packaged in a most satisfying way. "May I Kill U?" has clearly been written and directed to entertain and has fun with some classic lines used to sophisticated effect. The character portrayals, enhanced by the use of careful understatement, are both hard to anticipate and deeply thought-provoking. And I loved, loved but I mean really loved the ending.

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.

"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.

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.
