80/100Most depressing looking burger ever. Contract killers saying life is beautiful. London looking like Finland. Great photography. Nice soundtrack. The attack on capitalism. The typical wry deadpan humour. Some gentle moments. Bit of suspense and noirish elements. It's another little gem from Kaurismäki.
Kaurismäki truly understands the masculine urge to outsource your own death when you suck at suicide and therapy is not an option.
