Paul is a London tube driver with dreams of a cottage in a bee-loud glade. He's told that if his train strikes and kills one more person this month, he'll get a large severance, enough for the cottage. So he offers £1500 to Tommy Cassidy, a down-and-out Irishman, if Tommy will walk in front of Paul's train come Monday. He gives Tommy the cash on Friday. Wanting to ensure that Tommy honors the deal, Paul accompanies a cleaned-up Tommy on his trip (in a new suit and a hired car) to make things right with family he hasn't seen in eight years. Can Tommy, an inveterate gambler, make anything come out right? And what about Paul - can this suicide pact fulfill his dreams?
Leave your thoughts about Three and Out.
| Total FilmTom DawsonOstensibly a black comedy, this Brit road movie engages most in its more reflective moments, focusing on characters' feelings of guilt, anger, sadness and regret. |
| London Evening StandardLiz HoggardThe mystery is why some of Britain's finest character actors including Crook, Meaney, Antony Sher and Imelda Staunton got caught up in this mess. |
| BBC.comJonathan TroutRare winning moments aside, Three and Out is unconvincing, uneven and unfunny: a severe points failure. |
| Film4Neil SmithThere's no light at the end of the tunnel in this misguided romp whose solitary redeeming feature is its quality cast. |
| Time OutWally HammondToo gauche, too derivative and merely sporadically amusing. |
| User ReviewSuzanne HBrilliant film...... both funny and sad at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| User ReviewSarah TThis was not what I thought it was going to be, but I enjoyed every second!! One second you want to cry and the next your pissing your pants! |
| User ReviewNicole CI thought this film was excellent. I only found out about it at work when my colleagues were condemning it and sending around a petition against it. I am a London tube driver. I did not sign the petition because I wanted to see the film first, give it a chance and see what all the fuss was about. And I'm glad I did. It is a great British black comedy with a heartening story line. Well worth a watch. And for the record, the "three and out rule" does not exist. It pays to make up one's own mind about things, such as films and not listen to others criticisms. |
