Mit Reiseführer statt Pistolen schickt Regisseur Martin McDonagh seine beiden Profikiller (Colin Farrell und Brendan Gleeson) in die europäische Provinz.

Initially a playwright, Martin McDonagh delivered in spades with this, his uproarious debut as a writer-director: a pitch-black comedy recounting a hapless hit job gone wrong. Special mention must be made of its marvellously barbed screenplay, modelled on Harold’s Pinter’s “The Dumb Waiter”.
