Rating: 3/4 -- A reasonably enjoyable (for those captivated by this sort of thing) black comedy/noir thriller. Full Review

...Glittering, deadpan, nihilistic....Weirdly thrilling...
Entertainment Weekly

The violence in the film, in particular, is briskly and harshly managed, without either half-heartedness or gloating. But a little further along, cogency starts falling apart for good. Full Review

...Mr. Boyle's nasty ingenuity recalls the playful early days of the Coen brothers....As a tale of death and expediency, SHALLOW GRAVE also invites comparison to Alfred Hitchcock...

...A tar-black comedy that zings along on a wave of visual and scripting inventiveness....[The] playing and casting are strong down the line...

Rating: 2/5 -- At some point, ordinary human compassion must take up the slack. Boyle isn't a zippy enough director to make up for what's missing. No one is. Full Review

Product Description:

After three roommates finally choose a new roommate they think they can live with, they find him dead on the floor with a suitcase full of cash. While trying to remove the body and extricate themselves from the situation, they wade hip-deep into a world of drugs, greed and madness. A delightfully circuitous, nailbiting, and unpretentious noir, with the murder as a MacGuffin--director Boyle, who gained more acclaim across the Atlantic with follow-up TRAINSPOTTING, is more interested in the gradual psychological disintegration of the roommates.
