A Film With Me In It
Director(s): Ian FitzGibbon
Country: Ireland

Program: CWC
Rating: NN
 

Review by NW

Screenwriter Doherty stars as a sad-sack actor who, upon finding himself with a flat's worth of corpses and no credible explanation for how they got there, turns to his best friend (Moran, last seen stealing Run Fatboy Run) for help, only to end up in deeper trouble.

It was obviously conceived as a jet-black farce, but director FitzGibbon never manages to strike the right tone; the result is a grim misadventure with the occasional weak giggle. Most of said giggles are provided by Moran's invaluable comic timing, but even he can't save this one.
