A highly original, darkly comedic and infectious buddy-movie about a wheelchair-using gang of assassins... The second feature film from director Attila Till, Kills on Wheels is an inventive, action-packed coming-of-age story of friendship, loyalty and revenge. Zoli and Barba are inseparable friends and outcasts. Both physically disabled, they live in a rehabilitation facility where life seems rather less. Zoli needs life-saving surgery but doesn’t want his absent her to pay out of guilt and pity. Enter Rupasov, a mysterious wheelchair-using man newly released from prison. He quickly adopts the two friends and offers them a chance to make some extra money by helping him in his work. That work, however, is murder. Rupasov is a hitman. Inspired by his own experiences working as a volunteer for disabled people, director Attila Till skilfully blends reality with fantasy as he offers a gentle probe into the lives of those who live on the edge of society. Dual Format Special Features: • Stunning 1080p presentation (On the Blu-ray), with a progressive encode on the DVD English subtitles • 5.1 Surround and Stereo soundtrack options • Optional English subtitles • Trailer Reviews: “The world isn't overburdened with Hungarian wheelchair comedy-thrillers but on the strength of this darkly delightful effort from Attila Till... it could do with a few more.” – The Times “An entertaining, ingenious and above all wholly un-patronising take on an often mishandled subject.” – & Sound “A highly enjoyable and nuanced dark comedy with a satisfying depth of emotion.” – Little White Lies “A film that initially offers guilty pleasure thrills ultimately reveals its softer, more sentimental side. Kills On Wheels manages to cast aside the straitjacket of political correctness and treat disability issues with humour, understanding and inventiveness. It is a film that sends the viewer out with a warm hug of an ending” - Allan Hunter, Screen Daily "With a strong script, competent directing and gritty cinematography, Kills on Wheels is a well-balanced comedy, action-drama that will put you through a roller coaster of emotions” – Starburst "a brutal & brutally funny thriller that will entertain all kinds of people. It has an unexpected emotional core but this adds depth rather than undermining either its style or its point” - Jennie Kermode, Eye for Film
