Not every hostage wants to be saved!
A woman finds love when all she wanted was a quick and
painless death in this dark comedy-drama. Shawn (Selma Blair) is a deeply
depressed young woman who is unhappy with her job as a bank teller and is
frustrated with her romantic relationship with her boss (D.W. Moffett), who
happens to be married. Deciding there's no reason to go on, Shawn climbs to
the roof of the bank and steels her nerve to leap to her death. But before
she can jump, a novice bank robber named Charlie (Max Beesley) stages a
hold-up at the bank, taking Shawn hostage in the process. Charlie and Shawn
are soon trapped in the bank, and Charlie asks Shawn to help him escape; she
agrees, but only under the condition that he kill her later. He agrees, but
after they make their getaway, Charlie finds himself increasingly attracted
to Shawn and isn't so sure he wants to see her dead, while Shawn is
similarly intrigued with Charlie and decides to join him in his life of
crime. Kill Me Later received its premiere at the 2001 Santa Barbara Film
Festival.
