The Man of the Year

So I would like to tell you about this grim and amusing film.  Full of reprobates and ne'er do wells, I'm not sure there was a likable person in the whole film.  We do get to feel sorry for the lead character who, after an initial murder, gets coerced into becoming a vigilante for hire and he builds an empire of hit men around him.  Such a precarious foundation for his success rightfully causes his world  to come tumbling down around his ears.

There many interesting characters in this film, and a lot of double standards on display.  There is a dark sense of humor behind this, not as dark as "Man Bites Dog", not as playful as say Trainspotting or Snatch.  Not everyone's cup of tea, that's for sure.
