A killer comedy about a hitman (Ben Kingsley) whose drinking problem is getting in the way of his killing. Now it will take AA and the love of a woman to get him back on track. From director John Dahl, this all-star romantic comedy is a direct hit.
SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEWS –
1) Gandhi Gets a Gun - It's very tough to find a great actor, and tougher to find a great script. This movie meets both.
An alcoholic gangster assassin named Frank (Kingsley) is encouraged to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings because he can't do his job well due to his drinking problem. One night his cohorts find him sleeping while at 'work'. At one of the AA meetings he tells people what he does for a living. When asked if he isn't afraid of being caught, he finds comfort in the anonymity of his new found circle of friends.
There is a lot of violence, but with lively Bohemian music in the background, the movie never loses its comedic touch.
This story is dark humor at its best.

2) Black Comedy that's actually funny - Tea Leoni and Ben Kingsly are the perfect complement to each other in this brutally honest spoof of AA. Having been to a few meetings myself, I can speak from experience that the 12 step program can be cut to one easy step -- shut-up and quit, snivelers! Ben is completely believable as a contract killer too drunk to pull the trigger. And Tea shines as her normal, very funny and smart self. Luke Wilson wanders around aimlessly like he was added at the last minute for a name credit. What a relief to watch a movie that doesn't start slow and end with a disappointment. These two trade barbs with the precision of Irish Clog Dancers. Not only will you find yourself laughing out loud, you will also find yourself shedding a tear of happiness toward the end. If you don't find this flick LOL funny then you should trade in your blue jeans for and white collar and sulk into a seminary until you find your sense of humor. Keep it up Tea, cheers to you and Ben!!!
