A movie that was a pretty obscure release for the 2006's, with the biggest star being Simon Pegg of "Hot Fuzz" and "Shawn of The Dead". I was turned on to the film by one of my favorite sites Listverse.com; a compartmentalist's dream site. It was on their weird movie list. I loved it for many reasons; it's short, just under 90 minutes; very quick and well written; and it has David Schwimmer (yes the guy who played Ross on "Friends"; it also has David Duchovny's on screen ex on the hit series "Californication".
The plot is simple: a con-artist (Pegg) who works at a call center devises a black mail scheme. Needless to say shenanigans ensues. It could be considered a black comedy, and isn't cheesy either. It's probably for that reason that it remained a relatively unknown movie.
I like it since it has everything I look for; death, humor, and intelligence.
