Opening in late June:

You Kill Me
Grade: C

John Dahl’s directing career got off to an auspicious start with the terrific thrillers Red Rock West and The Last Seduction, but his latest suggests that he ought to take after Stella and get his groove back. Most of the dialogue is flat, the actors look bored and the two major plot lines merge unconvincingly. In a role that leaves him awkwardly stranded somewhere between Gandhi and his vicious character in Sexy Beast, Ben Kingsley plays an alcoholic hit man with a heart of gold, trying to dry out in San Francisco and get into Téa Leoni’s pants. Luke Wilson has a small and dull role as Kingsley’s gay AA mentor.
