Three and Out

Philip French: The film is neither black nor comic, not so much in bad taste as embarrassingly sentimental
  
  


There is an urban legend, though not one that has legged its way into my urb, that a tube driver who runs over three customers in the same month is given early retirement and a lump sum of seven years' earnings. In Three and Out, Mackenzie Crook (a supporting actor here unwisely given a pivotal star role) is a London driver who's accidentally killed two people and finds in a derelict Irish alcoholic (Colm Meaney) a willing suicide to be the necessary third victim. The film is neither black nor comic, not so much in bad taste as embarrassingly sentimental.
