You Kill Me

Noir auteur (and AFI alum) John Dahl does a great job with the execution, but the premise is weak. It boils down to one big problem: what does Tea Leoni see in Ben Kingsley? He’s way too old for her and she’s way too hot for him. There’s some good black humor here, and a nice redemptive ending, but when the premise is weak, there’s nothing on which to hang the rest of this stuff. I love Tea Leoni, but I don’t feel like she’s had her definitive role yet. So… a ho-hum show.
