“Professional alcoholic hit man gets life back on track thanks to her”

Frank Falenczyk (Ben Kingsley), a hit man in Buffalo, has been drinking too hard to do the job, so his family ships him to the West Coast to dry out. There he takes a quiet job and falls in with Laurel Pearson (Téa Leoni), a woman with a sharp tongue and little patience for him. John Dahl plays the whole thing deadpan, keeping the violence matter-of-fact and the humor dry.
