This British thriller, by chameleonic filmmaker Ben Wheatley, both powerful and painfully screwed up. Part of the fun is letting the movie evolve. But it’s pretty clear from the outset that weirdness will take hold. It follows a pair of low rent hitmen as their latest assignment becomes stranger and stranger. Wheatley is clearly indebted to "The Wicker Man" and has cited everything from "Get Carter" to the work of American author H.P. Lovecraft as influences. Not that you’d be able to tell; this tale is as original and unsettling as they get.
