Life has been cruel to Sally Grimshaw and she has had enough. It’s time to end it all. In a last ditch effort to save herself she calls a suicide hotline and is persuaded to come in and see one of their mental health counselors – Mr. Vincent.But Mr. Vincent has no intention of talking her out of killing herself. In fact he runs a service that matches suicidal clients with potential hits. I mean, if you’re going to kill yourself you might as well take out some human scum at the same time. At first she refuses, but life is never going to be kind to Sally and she finally agrees – she’s in. Sally is faced with the moment of truth when she has to perform the hit. And it is always in such moments that we discover a truth about ourselves. And in such a moment, Sally discovers a reason to live.

I felt guilty, but I was cheering at the end of this film, saying "Go Sally". This small film, which feels like a short big budget feature, is dark, funny and has a completely unexpected ending. I barely recognized Malin Akerman ('Watchmen') in a fine performance. An absolute must see!!
