Steven Ray was never quite normal. But when tragedy strikes in the form of a deadly hit-and-run incident at a city cross walk, his violent and bizarre behavior becomes uncontrollable. One night, as Steven plots his next murder, he meets Percival, whose unsuccessful attempt at suicide not only interferes with Stevens plans, but the chance encounter also introduces the two into each others sad and lonely lives. Percival believes hes cursed after miraculously surviving each suicide attempt and concludes fate brought he and Steven together. So he hires Steven to assist him in suicide. Steven does not believe in fate and thinks Percival is desperate and delusional. But he accepts the offer. Easy money. After Percival continues to miraculously survive each attempt on his life, Steven starts to believe. He tries to help Percival figure out ways to break the curse. And in the process, they form an unlikely friendship through the common bond of tragedy.

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
Ehirerapp Waste of time
Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
magores I stumbled across this on Netflix and decided to give it a try.After watching, I came here. I was surprised to see so few reviews of a film that was actually very good.This deserves more notice than it appears to have gotten so far.
wem-68365 Acting is superb and the director tells us so much about the characters with closeups. As in all good thrillers you don't get the full impact of the film until the very end. But you must be very observant to catch some key elements of the plot to put all the clues together. I had to watch it twice to see some key scenes.The writing is excellent as well. There are a few chuckles but nothing that diminishes the intensity of this film. The writing reveals the characters very well in their actions. Great job of revealing complex characters.Philosophy plays a part on another level. So enjoy and watch it several times. I will probably watch it again.
SimonbookNZ I watched this via Netflix, 1 minute into I groaned 'Oh no, an Australian movie' - forgetting that I had seen some great ones in my time, but also some horrid disappointments.This movie does not disappoint, plenty of surprises, twists and surprises and then twists and turns again.I was surprised having watched as many movies as I have and having a knack for remembering actors names, that I had not come across the two main actors before.Both were awesome, as was this dark, eventful and interesting story.Well worth a watch.
Red_Identity No doubt the film could use some cleaning around the edges. The film has some truly great writing sprinkled in with some kind of average writing, which makes the whole thing sort of frustrating. But really, it's pretty good. The two leads are really fantastic and they have a lot of chemistry, which would have been the biggest hindering factor if they didn't. They make the film work as well as it does. Mostly, it's just really well-made technically for being an independent film. I really wish that more people find out about it because it deserves to be seen by more people, and I look forward to seeing what the director/writer does in the future. Definitely recommended.
