I loved this funny movie with a nice looking London copper who got up to all sorts. Really funny and original. Nice to see British movies still getting made like this. This is one of those films that you have to keep to watch again. It is nice to have a laugh and this was a film that did that for us. A bit close to the knuckle at times but is a way that British films are. A bit like seaside postcards - they have a way of poking fun at the establishment and being liked for doing it. So to tie this up it was great to watch. If you want entertainment then this should do you. His private life was weird. Hilarious though. Well made, well acted, well directed. I'm looking forward to more coming out like this.
Baz is a cycle cop. As riots break out in London suburbs, a freak accident causes him an head injury that changes him from an everyday police officer into a psychopath vigilante, offering serious or petty criminals alike a choice, arrest or death. Baz sees this campaign as 'lawful killing' in a justice campaign to save London. Criminals are usually too confused or drunk to argue when they are (politely) asked "May I kill you?". All these interactions are recorded by Baz using his helmet-camera and posted anonymously on-line, quickly transforming the vigilante in the newest Londoner justice crusader.
Quirky indie films about justince and the meaning of it, this is an original British black comedy with unespected twist and turns. Despite not recommended for everybody, this flick will give enjoyment to viewers looking for something different.

Very often with these kind of films, you get a great concept with a not so great execution, but this is an exception.
The use of what I imagined to be footage from the 2011 London riots was cleverly interwoven into the film to portray a London of petty crooks and bored coppers. The interesting twist by use of the flipped roles of 'Baz' the bicycle cop and a tattooed and lazily-bearded offender, in what seems to be an interview room, provides a dramatic and humorous opening as the events that led up to the moment unwind before us.
With his poisonous, ciggy-puffing mother judging his every move and decision, we have the fascinating contrast of Baz' comic work life, in which I felt very comfortable viewing, and his home, which was cleverly filmed to highlight Baz' discomfort and feeling of sickness at his mother's presence and attitude, which resounds in the audience.
With appropriate twists and turns throughout, this is one of those films that guarantees a laugh and an interesting pry into the lives of those who seem to be totally normal people.

I really enjoyed the preview of "May I Kill U?", written and directed by Stuart Urban. A highly original, modern, and very funny, black comedy; it had a packed-out theatre at the NFT laughing guiltily throughout. No pretentious or linear storyline here: it's a complex plot, delivered in sequential layers and exquisitely packaged in a most satisfying way. "May I Kill U?" has clearly been written and directed to entertain and has fun with some classic lines used to sophisticated effect. The character portrayals, enhanced by the use of careful understatement, are both hard to anticipate and deeply thought-provoking. And I loved, loved but I mean really loved the ending.
