Surely there aren't many emotionally fragile mobster stories left in the Hollywood arsenal. But at least Kill is a pretty good shot with the laughs.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A lot more clever than it initially appears.
One of those self-consciously quirky indie films that will strike some as comic genius while leaving the rest of the audience scratching their head.
An unpredictable, enjoyable mob comedy.
A strong performance by the reliable Kingsley, and a tartly sweet one from Leoni, keeps You Kill Me from turning into the bad joke the title implies.
