DEAD IN A WEEK (OR YOUR MONEY BACK)

Depressed writer William (Aneurin Barnard) hires ageing assassin Leslie (Tom Wilkinson) to kill him, but when William gets cold feet, he discovers Leslie feels duty-bound to fulfil the contract. Tom Edmunds’ black comedy has a promising premise, but is neither funny or shocking enough to justify its trivialising of mental health issues. Simon Kinnear
