Victor Maynard is a top professional killer who is about to retire and experiencing a midlife crisis. He is 54 years old but still single, and he leads a monotonous life. His mother has been pushing him to find a woman to carry on the family line so that the killer gene runs in the family’s blood.

As a number one professional killer, he has strong work ability and professionalism. He easily made two missions in the first three minutes of the film. The night he checked into the hotel, Victor loaded the gun, set up the small space for his vigil, and instantly went into full alert. Victor looks boring and seems a little obsessive: drinks and condiments are placed in the middle of the table, the furniture is covered in plastic, and the smell of disinfectant fills his house.

The ruthless killer also has a tender side to him. When Victor saw a cat, he shed maturity and transformed him into a cute slave of the cat.

Once Victor was employed by a gang boss to kill Rose who is an occupational cheater and sold a forgery, which should be completed smoothly as previous each mission, but during the action he and Rose gave birth to sincere feeling, and in the critical moment, Victor not only let go her but began to protect her.During the action, Victor's monotonous lifestyle begins to change, and because of Rose's troublemaking nature, his routine is broken over again and again, from yelling at her, to reluctantly forgiving her, and finally falling into her clutches. Until the night of his birthday, Victor put down his guard and stereotypes, threw away the wine glass and cake, put on funny hats and danced comically with Rose and Tony. After that day, he removed the plastic from the furniture and began to decorate the room with colorful garniture.

At the end of the film, when he was on the verge of being killed, he unhurriedly said to Rose, "I missed you, too". His image comes alive and he becomes a wild man.

该片是英式喜剧的一次展示，和美国电影的喜剧相比，英式喜剧优雅脱线，更多的是板着脸的搞笑。

黑色幽默的喜剧往往都是卡通暴力加脱线卡司，而该片就是个中典范。电影的剧本如果只看故事和台词，是一个俗套的载体，但演员们的表演让这部电影变成黑色幽默喜剧。

该片是部法国同名电影的翻拍片，英国人和法国人向来彼此不睬，很奇怪英国人会翻拍法国人的电影。这部英国版自然变成英伦范儿，除了比尔大叔家住的法国移民区的住宅装修设计、业余法语发音练习和那些原来拿来主义的配乐，这部电影已经彻底地英化了。英式的卡通暴力把杀人拍得像闭眼睡觉一样平常，而演员们也往往一副莫名其妙的脱线表情，这可比斯里安·墨菲的《皮雷的慷慨》要幽默得多，而且这些幽默很正经。
